About the Exhibition
(Minneapolis) — The Department of Art at the University of Minnesota presents Where We Find Ourselves, a group exhibition of twenty-six Bachelor of Arts candidates about to complete their degrees in studio art at the University of Minnesota. Works in the exhibition provide an outlet to think, reflect, come to terms with, and navigate our world—inside and out. The exhibition represents a diverse array of media including animation, ceramics, digital and analog drawing, film, mixed-media installation, painting, photography, sculpture, sound, and zine-making. It considers this moment in time and the incredible forward momentum this group of artists possesses as they take the next step in their practice.
Artists in the exhibition include Stefanie Amundsen, Veronica Buczak, Nicole Cerniglia, Zoe Champoux, Alana Cisneros, Jacklyn Dahl, Melanie Gomez Mejia, Emi Hasty, Kalaya, Lauren Lacera, Megan Lasota, Zoe Long, Magdalene Mcclun, Sierra Messner, Brian Moua, Andrew Nystrom, Evelyn Parma, Gretchen Pickering, Tessa Quale, Misty Rowan, Sumayo Salah, Arman Sarda, Ella Van Haren, Ruofeng Wang, Sarah Willrodt, and Rebecca Zamora-Green.
