Nikolas Alexander Martin '25 is a junior majoring in fashion design and management. Our Rapture is a mixed media art exhibit containing fashion, sculpture, photography, and film to explore the weaponization of Christianity against Black and LGBTQ+ people in America. Nikolas was inspired by his own upbringing as a Black, Queer, and Christian man from the South and his experiences navigating religious racism and homophobia. Following recent bills being introduced in the country that bar Black and LGBTQ+ history from being taught in schools, Nikolas felt drawn to share this ongoing history through art. Coinciding with this year's theme of Freedom of Expression, Nikolas wants viewers to reflect on the histories of Black and LGBTQ+ people both past and present. This exhibit was funded by the Cornell Council for the Arts.
