In conjunction with the Department of Visual Art Faculty Exhibition, Dr. Stephanie Hohlios will give a lecture entitled “Art History as Community Engagement.” This event will take place at Flagler College’s Ringhaver Student Center in the Virginia Room, located at 50 Sevilla Street. The Visual Art Faculty exhibition is on view through November 8, 2025.

Dr. Hohlios, Ph.D. is Assistant Professor of Art History at Flagler College. Her research engages with modern and contemporary art in Japan–from painting and performance to conceptual and community-facing art projects. Her fieldwork primarily takes place in the former coal mining region of Chikuhō on the island of Kyushu in Japan, where she explores questions about art’s relationship to collective memory and feelings of belonging.

CEAM programming is supported through grants from the Dr. JoAnn Crisp-Ellert Fund at The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council, and the St. Johns Cultural Council.
