</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; line-height: 1.2;">Hosted by the University of Waterloo Art Gallery, the exhibition
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(27, 27, 27); line-height: 1.2;">captures the students’ creativity and the diversity of practices they have been exposed to in the studio arts program. The class shares the following
statement:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); line-height: 1.2;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">“As students, we have made a complicated series of connections over the years through the various mediums and
disciplines that expose who we are as individual artists as well as a collective student body. Our culminating exhibition includes paintings, sculptures, installations, mixed media, and digital works that explore themes relevant to our interests in identity,
community, self-expression, memory, trauma, relationships, gender, and the otherworldly. As students, we experienced online learning in the early stages of our studies before returning to our shared studio space in East Campus Hall. As a cohort, we have overcome
isolation and formed unique bonds with our artistic spirit and each other.” </span></p>
