PANTOMIME is a collaborative design effort tasked with revealing what is untold through fiber, sculpture, object, and movement. We define PANTOMIME as the art of conveying a story through gestures free of speech. This performance centered show seeks to present an alternative to our dystopian moment through the activation of function. Injecting imagination into the relationship between objects and the body allows the reality of survival to be surpassed.
PANTOMIME pulls on elements from the real world to manufacture something worth building toward. We craft narratives that mirror our reality and idealistic aspirations. With an open acceptance of changing technologies, a commitment to craft, and a willingness to collaborate, PANTOMIME builds a world ready for tomorrow. Together, we see our current moment and step toward something better.
Multi Media Event I and II combine as a year-long collaborative opportunity for students to operate across the boundaries of multiple artistic disciplines by utilizing experimental fashion, performance, and body-focused sculpture.

Anaitza Marisol Brown (b. 2004 in Baltimore, Maryland) is a current senior pursuing a BFA in General Fine Art, with double minors in Creative Entrepreneurship and Experimental Fashion, at the Maryland Institute College of Art. As a multidisciplinary artist and a woman of Black, Latino, and Indigenous descent, her work centers around concepts like culture, identity, and personal experience. She works through a variety of media such as highly rendered colored pencil and charcoal drawings, intimate sculptures with a focus on texture and craft, and elegant fashions that are conceptually elevated by performance.
Charlotte Witty is an emerging artist and fashion designer currently pursuing a BFA degree at the Maryland Institute College of Art (沙巴体育官网). Her studies are interdisciplinary, focusing on Textiles, Garment Design, and Curatorial Practices, with a strong emphasis on sustainable methodology in all aspects of her work. Through her personal brand, C.M.Witty, she designs and creates one-ofa- kind, well-made garments engineered for longevity and ethical consumption. Since elementary school she had wanted to be able to sew her own unique garments, and through her public school years had learned through purchased patterns. Last year she took an advanced garment class with Herion Park, who taught her how to design garments, drape on a dress form, draft patterns, pattern grading, and dart manipulation. This past year she has continued learning more about fashion design from Hope Simpara though taking her MME class, where she has learned corset construction, suit construction, and couture finishing techniques such as french seams, seam binding, linings and underlinings. Every piece of clothing is first designed, then draped, then patterned, before the pieces are cut, ironed, interfaced or interlined, and sewn together. Each garment has taken well over 70 hours to create from start to finish, from just an idea to an actual wearable garment that has all the necessary finishings. She is highly motivated to put in the work to make the garments the best they can be, whether that’s in garment and finishing techniques used, or dyeing techniques that are applied to achieve the desired color.

Her interest in material culture has landed her two museum internships through the Smithsonian and further inspired her interest in the development of dress within African American culture.
