For over half a century, BAMPFA and the UC Berkeley Department of Art Practice have partnered to present an exhibition celebrating the work of Master of Fine Arts graduates. This year’s exhibition features six artists: Viviana Martínez Carlos, Priyanka D’Souza, Arianna Khmelniuk, Jasmine Nyende, bryant terry, and Zekarias Musele Thompson.
Spanning diverse practices—including olfactory experiments, ecological reimaginings, punk poetics, deep listening, and transdisciplinary social practice—these artists explore themes of grief, community healing, collective memory, and transformation. Each work reflects the culmination of a rigorous two-year study through the MFA program at UC Berkeley, pushing boundaries across media, genre, and bodies of knowledge.
