A MESSAGE FROM THE BFA CLASS OF 2025<\/h3>
\n

This exhibition marks the culmination of our shared year of work, reflection, and creation. As a class, we have journeyed together not only through the technical processes of art making, but through the personal engagement that art asks of us. It\u2019s been a chaotic process since
\nfirst year for all of us, learning, experimenting, stumbling, rebuilding, and discovering the many ways art can hold memory, shape perception, and preserving the archive. Now we become one.

The works gathered here speak across varied mediums, voices, and sensibilities. Some of us turned to the intimacy of archives: family albums, oral histories, objects carried forward, while others explored perception through abstraction, material experimentation, or embodied experience. Together, our practices form a dialogue about what it means to document, to remember, and to translate lived experience into tangible form. Each piece stands individually, yet collectively they form a textured constellation of our concerns, our questions, and our stories.
\n

This year has been fast. The pace of making, thinking, critiquing, and becoming can be overwhelming, but tonight reminds us to pause and to take in what we have built, what we have become. We honour the long studio days, the late-night group messages, the frustrations that became breakthroughs, and the many cups of tea or coffee shared along the way. We honour the generosity we have shown one another in support, critique, and celebration.

We present this exhibition with excitement and with gratitude: to our lecturers and mentors who guided us, to the staff who supported the logistics that make exhibitions possible, to our families and friends who witnessed our process, and to each other, for the companionship that transformed work into something meaningful.
\n

Thank you for being here to witness this moment with us. We are proud of what stands before you, and we carry forward everything we have learned, together.
