Emily Carr University of Art + Design hosts its annual Low Residency Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition featuring work from the 2025 cohort of MFA Low Residency degree candidates. The culmination of two years of intensive artistic research, the exhibition showcases the results of studio-based education and critiques integrated with seminar readings and discussions. The exhibition showcases the diverse practices of the MFA Low Residency class of 2025, with work addressing hybrid identities including Metis and Jamaican Maroon culture, migration, ecological stories, political fracture, displacement, domestic gestures and personal identity through beading, embroidery, textiles, drawing, painting, sculpture, performance, photography, and video.

The thesis exhibition and opening reception are held at Emily Carr University’s Michael O’Brian Exhibition Commons and RBC Gallery at 520 East 1st Ave, Vancouver, British Columbia.
