The Day the Ears Came Out
Performace/Video
by Jaebin Lee
The video subverts the myth of the Virgin Mary’s virgin birth as a form of asexual reproduction, combining Christian mythology with patriarchal Korean gender ideals. Through the depiction of a bride experiencing a parthenogenetic or lesbian orgasm, the work subverts heteronormative structures, imagining self-sufficient modes of female pleasure and reproduction.
The Urban Palimpsest
Textile

Her practice investigates the connection between people and the spaces they inhabit, with a particular focus on how personal and collective memories are embedded within urban environments.
Ashraf
Visual Design
“Ashraf is an exploration of the role my Pakistani heritage had in the shaping of my identity while being raised in England, in a mixed race background. Despite growing up in a predominantly white area, surrounded by a lack of cultural diversity, I always felt a closer connection to Pakistani culture.”
My Culture
by Jiajun Wu
Graphic Design, Photography
Drawing from everyday observation rather than formal training, the artist builds a visual language from circles, rectangles, triangles, and bold color fields—forms that, when paired with familiar objects and the rhythms of nature, create works both simple and deeply resonant.
I Want to Hold You Longer
Weaving
by Sarah Sense
I Want to Hold You Longer is a series of photo-weavings by Sarah Sense that brings together Chitimacha and Choctaw basket traditions, archival materials, and landscape photography. The work draws from family-held baskets and museum collections, alongside colonial maps, government documents, and allotment records from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Each piece captures an impulse: to notice, to respond, to remember. Together, they form a quiet diary in visual form, tracing the artist’s movement through days and ideas without the burden of where it might lead. In her words: “I don’t know where it will take me, and I don’t care where it will eventually go… maybe what’s left is just the experience.”
