As part of GLAMFA, we present our “Shared Resource Room”. Typically, we convert one of our smallest galleries into a lounge area where we share printed materials and videos. This year, we have decided to also create an online space for reference! Academic institutions each have their own unique theoretical and aesthetic lineages. This is our attempt to cross pollinate the different California MFA programs. CAMFA artists and CSULB grads were asked to contribute books, essays, videos, podcasts, etc. — anything that influences their practices.
Please browse our archive below. This page will continue to change and grow as the upcoming CAMFA by GLAMFA 2021 participants, CSULB grads, and other MFA students contribute. We hope this page continues to grow and acts as s resource for the future.
If you would like to contribute, please find the link on the submission page tab or at the bottom of this page.
