The Belkin is pleased to present an exhibition of work by the 2025 graduates of UBC’s two-year Master of Fine Arts program: Solange Adum Abdala, Mahsa Farzi, Vanessa Mercedes Figueroa, Sarah Haider and Yuan Wen. This program in the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory is limited each year to a small group of four to six artists, who over the two years foster different sensibilities developed within an intimate and discursive working environment. Through interdisciplinary group critiques, weekly seminars, artist talks, open studios and advisor discussions, students develop advanced techniques and expand critical concepts to emerge with a particular direction for their studio practice.

Impos(s)able Impositions: UBC Master of Fine Arts Graduate Exhibition is curated by Melanie O’Brian and presented with support from the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory at the University of British Columbia.
