    Description/Abstract:
    The key to the future is in the past! Exploring methods of food production for Cincinnati in 2050 by combining horticulture practices of the past with modern technology to create a better future. For centuries humans have been taking nutrients from the earth and giving very little back in return (Oregon State Agricultural Extension Service). To avoid going too far down this detrimental path, we need to implement restorative agriculture methods that replenish the ground. By doing so, we give the Cincinnati of 2050 a better future; a future composed of healthy, happy residents who have access to responsibly cultivated food, land that is less susceptible to flooding and landslides, and a population that takes responsibility and stewardship of the natural environment. Humans are a keystone species and as such we play an integral part in how the ecosystem functions, for better or for worse. There is much wisdom to be learned from Native Americans and their millennia of horticulture practices. By implementing strategies like a city-wide composting network, hillside terraced gardens, urban food forests, and underground hydroponics, Cincinnati can reduce food waste, mitigate climate change, increase equitable access to healthy food, and educate its residents on how to be environmental stewards.

    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    The current infrastructure of horticulture in North America lacks BIPOC representation. The purpose of the review and the research is to address the effects of white dominance in horticulture and observe the benefits of a system that upholds and welcomes the culture and values of individuals in the BIPOC communities. By analyzing the current impacts of DEI and its effectiveness for BIPOC horticulturist, it can be theorized on how to create a more equitable field.

  • How Can The Greenhouse Industry Benefit From Changing The Materials Used For Making Growing Containers?

    Document thumbnail: How Can The Greenhouse Industry Benefit From Changing The Materials Used For Making Growing Containers?
    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    The overuse of plastic containers in greenhouse and nursery production surpasses the amount being recycled. A solution to this issue involves a shift in the materials used for making containers. Specifically, containers employed for plant growth are largely single-use due to the higher costs associated with reusing them in production. Due to chemicals used during the growing process recycling containers is challenging. Transitioning to eco-friendly alternatives holds the promise of positively impacting the environment and curbing plastic waste generated in growing containerized plants. This research delves into the types of plastics currently utilized, their purposes, and the recycling processes involved. This is compared to new eco-friendly container options, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages. The significance of this study lies in the exploration of potential materials for manufacturing containers in greenhouse and nursery production. The result of This research finds alternatives to plastic, fostering sustainability and reducing reliance on plastic for containers, thereby contributing to a more sustainable industry.

  • Fragonard's Reflections of Protofeminism in 18th Century France

    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    In the mid-18th century, France entered the Rococo period, a period of enlightenment and play. As the Enlightenment spurred more liberal ideologies in French society, aristocratic women were afforded more freedoms than in previous periods, such as high education and participation in social and cultural realms such as Salons. Jean-Honoré Fragonard, known widely for his 1767 painting "The Swing", created a large body of work throughout the period often depicting female subjects in genre and allegorical scenes as well as portraiture. Often subverting the typical male gaze in his works, his paintings serve as a reflection of the period of empowerment experienced by aristocratic women in the Rococo period.

  • The Use of Art in Understanding Christian Teachings: How Albrecht Dürer’s "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" aids in the interpretation of the Book of Revelation

    Document thumbnail: The Use of Art in Understanding Christian Teachings: How Albrecht Dürer’s "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" aids in the interpretation of the Book of Revelation

    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    Many people and cultures throughout history have taken great interest in the end of the world. Christianity has been used to answer questions about the Apocalypse in the final book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation. Artists from all around the world have used this apocalyptic text as inspiration for their works. In 1498, German artist Albrecht Dürer published a series of fifteen woodcuts depicting scenes from Revelation. One of these was “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”, which can be used to more readily understand the teachings and beliefs of the Christian Church in 15th-century Europe.

  • Changed Acceptance: Kitsch, Tattoos and Norman Rockwell

    Document thumbnail: Changed Acceptance: Kitsch, Tattoos and Norman Rockwell
    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    Turning things that were once seen as inappropriate or undesirable to being widely accepted and loved. This can be seen in all aspects of culture, even visual culture and the arts. Two seemingly unrelated practices that have a changed perception are Tattooing and the production of Kitsch. Throughout the last century, views on tattoos have shifted tremendously in all features such as styles, techniques, symbolism, and social acceptance. Tattoo styles have changed drastically since their earliest documentation from tribal styles to commemorative memorials, and being used as a way to permanently decorate the body, in a way jewelry (although similar) cannot. Tattoos were predominately a sacred practice highlighting aspects of a culture, religion, and social class. As tattooing, was adopted by more cultures, people began to adapt the art form to fit their specific interests. In the Western world, specifically America the individuals getting these tattoos were usually seen as lower class, outcasts, and rebels. Kitsch has a long and verifying history that starts in Germany making its way to the United States just under a century ago. In the 85 years since its debut it has been great discussed and interpreted and continuously evolving. It was originally associated with low class works of art that were not thought provoking and tended to be masses produced. The association of the low class with tattoos and kitsch is very similar to how Norman Rockwell’s illustrations were seen in his early years of production. Rockwell was an American illustrator who was known for creating a romanticized depiction of American life through a photorealistic style. The evolution of tattoo acceptance and kitsch reflects a path similar to Norman Rockwell’s art. All turn towards a more positive, socially accepting, and new understanding entirely. The painting “Tattoo Artist” by Norman Rockwell is an uncanny comparison to how himself as an artist and tattoos both being seen as kitsch has changed with the times. The paralleled change in acceptance of tattoos, kitsch and Norman Rockwell all show that nostalgia is a strong factor in deciding what modern culture deems permissible.

  • Wicked Women: The Illustrated Broadsheet Witches’ Sabbath in Trier as an Othering Mechanism in 16th Century German Print Culture

    Document thumbnail: Wicked Women: The Illustrated Broadsheet Witches’ Sabbath in Trier as an Othering Mechanism in 16th Century German Print Culture
    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    Witches’ Sabbath in Trier is a broadsheet that depicts a witches’ sabbath, and was a piece of the thriving print culture of sixteenth century Germany. The image of the witch reflects misogynistic beliefs about women, rooted in the Bible and the female life course. Witch persecution meant that people could find and punish the roots of evil causing their misfortune: witches sent by Satan. This othered population was most often impoverished women whose bodies were scrutinized as possible vessels for evil. Broadsheets like this one were a terrifying and fascinating form of entertainment, helping to spread misogynistic beliefs about witchcraft.

    Description/Abstract:
    Tawaraya Sotatsu’s screen door print of the Japanese deities you cannot dismiss how unique each one of the figures appears. You also cannot help but wonder how these deities ended up looking the way that they did. We look back to 13th-century Japan to see why Raijin and Fujin ended up being depicted as they did. We consider their history, analysis, and the artist's importance within Japanese culture.
