SUMMA 2024: Yearbook

Curated by Christina Leslie
Opening Reception: Thursday, April 11, 4-7PM

SUMMA 2024: Yearbook is an exhibition celebrating the remarkable talents of the 2024 McMaster School of the Arts visual art graduates. This showcase illuminates the profound evolution of each student throughout their senior year, marked by spirited classroom discussions and a fearless commitment to challenging established and colonial creative norms.

Yearbook features a diverse array of artistic mediums, from cutting-edge VR/AR and 3-D printing technologies to traditional forms such as sculpture, painting, and drawing. Addressing contemporary issues such as social consciousness, cultural identity, memory, sexuality, and sustainability, each artwork serves as a narrative thread inviting viewers to delve deeper into these themes. Through exploration and experimentation, the collective body of work transcends artistic boundaries, fostering inclusivity within the art community.
