The Department of Arts, Culture and Media at the University of Toronto Scarborough is pleased to present Sight Lines and Fault Lines, an exhibition and publication featuring works by graduating students in the Studio Art Program.  

📌Opening Reception
Saturday, April 11, 2:00 - 5:00pm
10-minute Artist Talks take place at 2:45pm, 3:30pm and 4:15pm

Exhibition Date: April 14-16, 2026
Location: Doris McCarthy Gallery

The title of the exhibition offers two spatial analogies that harbour multiple, opposing connotations. A sight line establishes a link between an observer and an object by centring the gaze. A fault line is a fissure that portends an eventual fracturing and potentially convulsive event. Yet both analogies also carry within them the idea of an opening up, the emergence of a clearing, or the creation of a zone of passage.  

The forty artworks in the exhibition—encompassing painting, collage, photography, video, animation, sculpture, and installation—navigate a similar terrain of contradiction, tackling subject matter where competing realities must coexist: the recognition of unseen labour, the increasing reliance on biased and harmful technologies, natural systems altered by human intervention, and the lived experience of diasporas in a world more hostile to difference. The artists in the exhibition do not turn away from this confounding state of affairs, but instead respond with humour and play, critique and satire, tenderness and hope. 

Artworks by: Nhat Minh Cap, Ian Chang, Chen Junyi, Chiu Jhih Ling, D**g Yiwen, Caterina Delle Fave, Ganzorig Dorjnyambuu, Anuujin Enkhbaatar, Hmeen Fournier-Hasan, Gao Chenyu, Hugh Gu, Sabina Jeyasankar, Icey Ji Hongyu, Jeff Jiang, Yoyo Jin, Ludwig Klodt, Carrie Lau, Jessica Li, Ken Li, Liu Fulin, Kevin Liu, Rosy Lou, Lu Rong, Cindy Nguyen, Shania Niu, Annie Pan Ziping, Qiu Zhen, Jade Ramos, Anechka Saniel, Sophia Seoh, Gianna Tang Xiao-Yu, Amina Turtulga, Airi Wada, Wang Jingwen, Tina Wen, Mico Zeng, Sumin Zheng, Kiki Zhou, Peggy Zhu, Zou Xintong
