Foreword

Welcome to Subject to Change, an exhibition featuring 32 emerging visual artists from the University of Victoria. This annual exhibition showcases the accomplishments of the artists’ undergraduate journey, with this year’s theme representing their determination to take on the unpredictable. We are thrilled to incorporate a spectrum of themes ranging from the complexities of social and cultural identities, translations of memory and emotion, to formal considerations relating to realism, architecture, and design.

An eagerness to explore is not only demonstrated by the diversity of artistic practices on show, but also by the developmental journey of this exhibition and its co- production—this artist book. In the hopes of generating and preserving a sense of agency in the face of the unforeseen, this collective project began with a breaking away from institutional norms. In doing so, we established a stronger foundation of independence than has ever been seen from the Visual Arts class at this university. As anticipated, we were met with uncertainty and experienced turbulence. Representative of and yet coincidental to this exhibition’s title, the team adapted to the circumstances, remained resilient, and swiftly navigated the obstacles as they emerged. As we move forward, we hope to continue to demonstrate our willingness to grow and overcome the ever-shifting realities of life.
