At the University of Utah College of Fine Arts, students learn from some of the top faculty in the country. But that is not all; each semester, each academic unit brings to campus world-renowned artists who offer master classes, give public lectures, screen films, host discussions, and ultimately broaden the breadth and depth of exploration into all areas of study. During the past year alone, these artists were brought to campus to share their knowledge and expertise with us.

Tanja Softić is an artist and educator born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina (former Yugoslavia), whose work addresses factors of cultural hybridity that shape the identity and worldview of an immigrant. Through printmaking, drawing, photography, artist books, and poetry, her work suggests a displaced existence: fragmented memories, adaptation, revival, and transformation. During her visit, she created a new print with the assistance of students.
