work that is at once personal, provocative, and resonant. The use of media ranges from painting and drawing, to photography, book arts, and printmaking, to site-specific intervention, sculpture, ceramics, and installation. And the themes engaged through these
students’ work are just as vast, and include the death of memory, the need for acceptance, comfort objects, childhood trauma, class disparity, the perception of time, repetition in cycles of thinking and behavior, and the untainted wonder of youth. </span><o:p class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></o:p></span></p>

an exhibition of works by Florida State University's 2023 MFA graduating class Jenae Christopher, AnnaBrooke Greene, Camille Modesto, nik rye, Chayse Sampy, and Chansong Woo. Hosted by the Museum of Fine Arts, the exhibition will focus on their shared considerations
of being in the state of longing regarding the diaspora, community and home. Christopher, Greene, Modesto, rye, Sampy, and Woo share multimedia practices that provide forms of documentation of lived experiences, past and present. Through participatory performance,
video projection, painting, and various multimedia projects, these artists explore the nuances of space, place, and personhood while considering both collective and personal memory. By enacting gestures that take into account the placement and shifting of
perception, the artists put forward an expression and vision of hope. Based on their individual, personal experiences, they expand upon various modes of participation to create an intimate space for visitor engagement in order for new modes of encounters to
occur all while envisioning an aspiration for tomorrow. </span><o:p class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></o:p></span></p>
