‘Evoke/Provoke’ showcases the work of seven recent MFA Photography graduates from the University for the Creative Arts. From Ambhore’s ‘Death Over Indignity’, an exploration of caste-based discrimination in India to Cooper’s investigation of her mixed-race heritage in ‘Warm Olive’, this exhibition offers a diverse exploration of the human condition.

Holland’s ‘Between Worlds’ delves into the interactions between the real, virtual, and alternate worlds, while Isler’s ‘Insomnia’ focuses on the challenges of aging and loneliness in long-term couples. Hart’s ‘ 92,000,000,000’ expose the disconnect between meat consumption and animal suffering, and Pattni’s ‘May You Not Get Evil Eye’ explores her Indian heritage through recreated cultural rituals. Sung’s ‘Looking for Nirvana’ reveals her personal journey of exploring non-monogamy and confronting childhood trauma.

Through personal narratives and critical methodologies, these emerging artists aim to provoke thought, spark dialogue, and inspire change.
