She speaks to the global condition, by facilitating encounters between neglected communities in shunned spaces, and advantaged university students. Four scholars who have worked with Kelly closely, have written essays examining the developmental processes and visual art that reflects the lived relationships she immerses herself and others. Bhaskar Mukhopadhyay, a cultural theorist; visual artist Sarah Schuster and teacher at Oberlin College; Pamela Karimi, an Iranian art and architecture historian; and David Cohen, a prominent art critic in New York City, have all written from four distinct perspectives about years of artwork made by an artist deeply involved in the communities surrounding her.view less
