PASSION BECOMES A PATHWAY
During his junior year, Lindhartsen had the opportunity to intern at an all-ages concert hall in South Tacoma called Real Art Tacoma, where he helped book and promote shows. The internship was put on hold when the pandemic hit. Lindhartsen graduated during the pandemic unsure of when he would be able to put his degree to work.
Eventually, venues began to open back up, including Real Art Tacoma. The nonprofit needed help with venue management and offered Lindhartsen a job helping book, promote, and manage logistics for the small concert hall. He’s also still involved with LASR, currently advising student staff and helping manage the station’s shows and events.
“It was kind of serendipitous that after not being able to really do anything vocationally, I was essentially pulled back to Tacoma to do what I was doing before, but on a professional level,” Lindhartsen said.
While Lindhartsen’s major had him interacting with bands and focusing on the excitement and many moving parts of event planning and promotion, Query focused their attention on post-genocide memory studies and immersed themself in their work of questioning how histories of traumatic events affect populations today.
“I am really interested in survivor testimony from different genocides, especially from folks who are not as widely represented such as the Roma and Sinti, and queer and trans victims of the Holocaust,” they said.
For their major, Query took courses from six disciplines, including Native American and Indigenous Studies. One of their favorite classes from that discipline included “Colonization, Slavery, Genocide & the Black Atlantic.”
