The pandemic has forced us all to question and reimagine the way our society is functioning. Against the backdrop of a global health crisis and a changing socio-political landscape, seven students share experiences and reflections of the last two years to ask themselves and each other: are we okay?

Coming together as a collective, the project was conceived by fourth-year students from the Art & Art History Program, a joint program between Sheridan College and U of T Mississauga. While brainstorming exhibition ideas, the collective unanimously agreed that being cautious was not an option; they had to confront what has been happening in the world as a way into their work.

Cathartic and personal, these stories reflect their shared and unique perspectives.
