The Firestorm Master Thesis of 2025: The Art of Framing Diversity
The first Firestorm Scholarship resulted in a study of how corporate art collections can support diversity, equity and inclusion.
The Art of Framing Diversity: A Qualitative Study Examining How Corporate Art Collections are Leveraged to Support DEI Initiatives was written by Ella Wiss Mencke and Federico Sangiorgi.
The thesis examines female representation in corporate art collections and the broader intersection between corporate art collections and diversity, equity and inclusion.
“When intentionally curated, corporate art collections can become tools for inclusion—visually embedding gender equality into an organization’s identity and sparking meaningful conversations about representation.”
