As seniors, we’ve been planning for our transition into the real world for four years now, some of us longer. We’ve been planning, learning, and getting all our ducks in a row with the promise of success after graduation. But that very promise that our lives have been built upon for the last four years seems to have faded from view. What will we do in the face of uncertainty? To this question, I say: we will create, as we always have. We will use our art to dissect and digest what has happened to us and move forward. No matter what may or may not be there waiting for us. For years, artists have used their work to speak directly to the public on issues they stand firmly on; artists create work about the world around them that gives us culture and keeps us on our toes. They make us question why things are the way they are, and once they get even one person to think differently, they become an activist. Artists give us a new lens to view life with, and I hope that you will peer through the lenses we’ve collected here in the gallery.
Note: The gallery will have amended hours of operation May 9-17 (12-4pm daily). Show will be deinstalled on May 18, 2022.
The Department of Art thanks Legion Paper for donating materials to our Senior BFA students.
