<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">REPRISE</span></b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> brings together artworks by University of Waterloo MFA alumni Brubey Hu, Tyler Matheson, B Wijshijer, and Kayla Witt, each of
whom had their thesis exhibitions cancelled in 2020 during the first wave of the pandemic. Following two years of restrictions and uncertainty, each artist continued to produce and exhibit work despite often challenging circumstances. Over ongoing conversations
with the artists, UW Fine Arts and UWAG agreed to host some form of meaningful return engagement—a reprise of sorts. The result is a culminating group exhibition featuring multidisciplinary works that range from painting and photography, to video and poetry.
REPRISE celebrates the persistence of these alumni and the vitality of the MFA program.</span></p>
