On view May 6–18 at Tufts University Art Galleries in Medford, the 2025 MFA Thesis Exhibition Through Shifting Lenses presents the work of 14 graduating Masters of Fine Arts students from the School of The Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) at Tufts.Featured artists Lu Adami, Foster Boyajian, Chris Diani, Schuyler Dragoo, Richard Farrell, Hanniie, Ari Grubb, Katie He, Yining Lee, Peyton Michelle, Yulia Niu, Anguo Ping, Megan Weeda, and MiJung Yun confront an anxious present with work that snaps with tension between oscillating frameworks: microscopic and vast, universal and individual, reflective and speculative.Through Shifting Lenses invites audiences to traverse a kaleidoscopic series of shifting perspectives on space, time, identity, and imagination. Bringing together works that span scale, mediums, and multitudes, these artists compose a picture of thoughtful invention and unbridled enthusiasm for the making of new worlds in the face of uncertainty.Join us in celebrating the 2025 MFA graduates during a public reception on Friday, May 16 from 5-8PM at TUAG / Medford (Aidekman Arts Center).Through Shifting Lenses is guest curated by cultural producer, designer, and curator Kimberli Meyer and organized by Alexi Antoniadis, Dina Deitsch, Madeline Ditzler, Laurel Nakadate, and Kenson Truong.Image: Ari Grubb, A Fish Walks Into a Gay Bar…, 2025.
