An exhibition of artwork by 11 graduating MA/MAT Art Education students at the School of Visual Arts.

“Sea Change” — To resist and thrive in challenging times calls for a collective sea change that leans toward hope. The earliest use of the phrase “sea change” is found in a song by the island’s supernatural spirit in Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Sea change denotes a profound transformation, or metamorphosis, coupled with a significant shift in perspective. Whether it is happening to a person, group, or society at large, a sea change can never happen in isolation or in a vacuum. Radical and deep transformation only takes place through myriad connections and experiences as people gain new perspectives through empathy, learning, and engagement with their surroundings.

Artists featured in this exhibition are Devin Revolorio, Gabrielle Lewin, Grace Hallinan, Hannah Scherwatzky, Irem Epikmen, Meg O’Brien, NuoMin Wei, Suzanne Burns, Wujian Wang, Yomira Meregildo and Youjung Choi.
