A MESSAGE FROM THE BFA CLASS OF 2024

With great excitement, we warmly welcome each of you to the graduate showcase of the Rhodes Fine Art class of 2024. This collective presentation is the culmination of four years of study refined through experimentation, which mirrors the complexities of our personal and societal experiences, offering a space for contemplation and thought.

Inspired by a rich tapestry of myth, narrative and personal experience that have shaped our collective consciousness, this journey culminates in creative expressions rendered in multiple media.  Through photography, digital art, drawing, sculpture and performance, our personal introspections reflect on contemporary realities.

The Class of 2024 has embraced this adventure wholeheartedly, pushing beyond their comfort zones and taking leaps into new creative territories. We have boldly explored the intersection of art and society, using unique perspectives to respond to the complexities of the world around us. We invite you to explore the stories, emotions, and meanings behind each student’s exhibition with an open mind.

We honour our heritage.
We navigate through life’s twists.
We honour the past.
We welcome new beginnings.
We overcome fears and doubts.
We welcome new adventures.

Together with gratitude, we celebrate the beauty of collaboration.
