IMA Thesis Show is May 16 + 17! 

Highlighting each of the 12 projects: 

Lonely Rooms by Yaching Cheung 

Lonely Rooms is a multi-media installation, an imagined residential building that could exist in any metropolitan city—an architectural structure whose windows offer glimpses into the private lives of strangers. Through performance videos, etchings (printmaking), and projection mapping each “room” is a self-contained world, telling stories of alienation, loneliness, and solitude. But are the residents truly convinced that no one is watching? Are they ever really alone?

More info + RSVP : https://ima-mfa.hunter.cuny.edu/ima-mfa-spring-thesis-show-2025/

One Can Only Dream by Sophia Yacca

In dreams, we forget, we fear, we fracture—but sometimes, we find each other. One Can Only Dream of being found and be seen. In this interactive exhibit, you will find your way through the dreamlands in-game and discover where you are sent. Whether you belong or resonate is up to you. But as in dreams, sometimes we don’t get that choice.
