What happens when students are given the opportunity to use audio and video as a creative, self-expressive tool? Welcome toRace/Remix: Student Edition featuring individual projects from students in Professor Sama Ashaibi’s Audio/Visual Imaging course at School of Art at The University of Arizona.
Utilizing Racial Justice Studio’s new podcast recording room, student groups explored experimental, fictional, and documentary genres producing a podcast episode as their final project. For many students, this was their first experience with professional audio equipment learning the entire production process.
Each group video weaves their individual stories and personal reflections together touching on themes of immigration, cultural identity, memory, and legacy, using sound, imagery, and narrative as powerful storytelling tools. We invite you to view the 2025 collection of student produced podcasts that blend fact with fiction, past and futures, capturing the complexities of their lived experiences in a format that invites introspection and connection.
