A Vital Matters Perspective: Full Circle: The Return of Alum Patrisse Cullors to UCLA

Full Circle: The Return of Alum Patrisse Cullors to UCLA

Erica Jones reflects on the personal and symbolic significance of exhibiting They Are With Us by artist and UCLA alum Patrice Cullors at the Fowler Museum. Jones highlights how Cullors’ work represents a powerful full-circle moment as she returned to campus not as a student, but as an acclaimed artist whose voice now fills the walls of this institution. Through her work, Cullors claims space for herself and other Black students whose stories have often gone unheard, transforming the exhibition into a personal and a collective act of empowerment.
