Art-making is rarely a straightforward path. Life itself is full of twists that leave us unsure of where to put our feet next. However, unexpected situations can be just the push someone needs to go for what they desire. When James Ming Johnson joined the Post-Baccalaureate Program in Studio Art at Brandeis University, he had been trying to narrow down his life to its uttermost essentials. For Johnson, this meant getting rid of the preoccupations of the day-to-day to finally find a space — both physical and mental — to nourish his artistic practice. Moving to Massachusetts suburbia, he says, “was a nice change from New York.” Part of Brandeis School of Graduate Arts and Sciences, the Post-Baccalaureate Program gives students the space to grow as artists and develop a portfolio for graduate school admission. The private studios in the Epstein Building offer 24/7 access and a mock-up gallery space where students engage critically with each other’s artworks.

It may come as a surprise, but Brandeis has a Quidditch team. Yes, you heard that right — the sport is no longer reserved for the wizarding world of “Harry Potter.” While lacking in witchcraft and wizardry, the University’s team is very real and a welcoming space for anyone who wishes to join. Founded in 2010, The Judges’ Quidditch team is one of many club sports, which are independent and student-run at Brandeis. They play against other universities in the college division of US Quidditch and have previously gone to nationals. Brandeis Quidditch, however, is about more than just playing a sport. It’s about inclusivity, teamwork and — when it comes down to it — having a good time.

On the morning of March 17, 2020, I stood mindlessly scrolling on my phone in my high school hallway. I sighed in distress. COVID-19 had just taken the world by storm, and my hometown was close to a shutdown. That wasn’t what I was sighing about, though. On what would be my last day of school due to the pandemic, only one question was on my mind: Is Tom Brady going to stay on the New England Patriots?
