Jill Smith: kupferschmidt / kupferschmid / kupferschmidte

UW Fine Arts and UWAG are proud to co-present the second of our MFA Thesis Exhibitions "kupferschmidt / kupferschmid / kupferschmidte" is a sculpture and installation-based exhibition which uses materiality and autobiography to question the role and success of self-preservation amid a disruption to identity. The works in this exhibition use materials including those associated with Jewish culture to demonstrate the paradoxical nature of preservation.

UW Fine Arts and UWAG are proud to co-present the first of our annual MFA Thesis exhibitions. "We will lose our beloveds — ما عزیزانمان را از دست خواهیم داد" is a body of interdisciplinary works which uses feminist autotheory to transcribe lived experience under the Iranian theocracy. The works highlight the complexities of migration: what self-exile feels like, along with my connection to the greater Iranian diaspora after moving to Canada in 2018.
