Opening Reception: MFA Thesis Exhibitions — Séamus Gallagher & Christina Oyawale

May 22 @ 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Free

The School of Art Gallery at the University of Manitoba is pleased to present the opening reception for two concurrent Master of Fine Art thesis exhibitions by Séamus Gallagher and Christina Oyawale.

𝙄𝙏’𝙎 𝘼 𝙈𝙀𝙎𝙎 by Séamus Gallagher and 𝙋𝙐𝙉𝙆 𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙀 𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙈𝙊𝙉𝙎 by Christina Oyawale bring intersecting approaches to image-making, installation, performance, queer world-building, and communal forms of care into dialogue.

Through photography, video, drag, expanded zine practices, found imagery, and immersive installation environments, both artists examine how constructed images and shared spaces can challenge dominant social structures while imagining new ways of living together.

Admission is free and all are welcome.
Exhibitions on view through June 19, 2026.
