UCL History of Art Society

Hi, I’m this year’s society president Ariel, and I’m excited for what’s ahead. We’ve got a fantastic committee and are officially re-affiliated with the SU. Plans are already in motion, including launching a society blog, Paper Galleries. I’m also in touch with the English Society about hosting a joint ball, with hopes of making it a tradition. Finally, I invite alumni in academia or the arts to connect with us, share their experiences, and offer advice to our students.

My name is Sofiia, Sonya for short! I am a Philosophy and History of Art student. My interest in both of my disciplines centre around religion and the human body. I also enjoy performance art and the critical theory around it. As part of my Vice President role in the History of Art society, I aim to continue building a strong sense of community around our department as well as expanding our wider network across UCL! 

My name is Anna Wu, and I’m a third year undergraduate studying History of Art. I will be the society’s Social Secretary, which I’m really looking forward to, especially since it’s my first committee role! My role will be to manage the social media accounts and advertising the society and our events. From uploading posts, promotional information, and most importantly engaging students within the department. I hope to increase engagement for the society, both digitally and in person.

Hey! My name is Cloe and I’m in my final year of studying BA History of Art and French.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns throughout the school year - I’d be glad to help out!

Hello there! My name is May, and I’m thrilled to be your treasurer for this year’s history of art society.

Hi, my name’s Milly - I’m a 2nd year History of Art & Italian student and also the editor for our new society newspaper: Paper Galleries. More information will be available about our exciting plans for the upcoming year, but in short I can’t wait to work with everyone who is interested in writing articles for our paper - open to anybody part of the art history society. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or ideas!

Hello, I’m your MA Representative this year! My current research interests revolve around American and British diasporic artworks, specifically involving Asian American and women narratives. I am originally from Ohio and excited to be in the UK to study more on contemporary British artists. Do reach out to me if you have any questions about being an international student or if you would like to get involved as a postgraduate. Looking forward to meeting you all!
