Photos from the Spring 2011 creative art project, "From Binaries to Bulls: the (Re)Construction of Identity at the University of South Florida.

	Students in Alaina Tackitt's HUM 1020 class, "The Arts" challenge stereotypes with their art project.
	The class drew inspiration from French artist/activist, JR.
	Students aimed to highlight campus diversity and challenge assumptions.
	Students created over 20 of these "binaries" or side-by-side portraits.
	The posters were displayed on campus and then moved to Marshall Center Ballroom C for a reception and Q&A with the class.
	Congratulations to Ms. Tackitt's HUM 1020 students for completing this innovative project!
