“Revival,” the theme of this year’s show, explores struggle and rebirth, self-awareness and evolution. The exhibition showcases work by students who will graduate in 2023, as well as work by current students and alumni.

“Revival” represents the awakening after silence. While revivals are preceded by long periods of stagnation, decline, revivals also mark a moment of rebirth and transcendence. We evolve in tranquility and flourish amidst ruins. Society has experienced unprecedented turbulence accompanied by silence where we bade farewell to many people and things and struggled between leaving and staying. This year, we are finally regaining our strength. We cannot rewrite the last three years, and we have not forgotten the collective grief and anger we experienced. These feelings, however, have also made us stronger and more resilient beings.
