Third year HASTS student Odinaka Eze has been awarded a MIT Bevans Artistic Exploration Fund grant. Established in 2024 by Keith (SB ’95) and Natasha Bevans, the $5,000 grant sponsors artistic projects that explore and illuminate Black experience and culture.
With support from the Bevans Fund, Odinaka will produce a historical documentary on Garuba Garuba, an activist and leprosy patient during Nigerian independence. The project will add a mixed-media component to Odinaka’s HASTS dissertation research on related themes.
