INTRODUCTION

Each year, it is my privilege to witness the unique and remarkable creative talent emerging from UNSW Art & Design in our graduate showcase, the A&D Annual.

As one of Australia’s largest, most dynamic and diverse art, design, and creative technology schools, our graduate showcase reflects a range of innovative, experimental, and interdisciplinary approaches to creative practice and research.

This year we celebrate the work of more than 180 practitioners graduating from our Bachelor & Honours degrees in Fine Arts, Design and Media Arts, and our Master of Design program. In 2023, our students present new work across the campus in the UNSW Galleries, AD Space, A block (the old library) and the Black Box, as well as online.

Our graduates are a testament to the importance of creativity, technical skill, and resourcefulness. The outstanding work they have produced demonstrates the capacity for art and design to impact our world, as they respond to the social, technological, and environmental issues of our time.

Congratulations to all our graduating students, and I wish them the very best as they move forward to become the next generation of creative leaders, contemporary artists, designers, and digital media creators, both in Australia and overseas.

Professor Edward Scheer, Head of School, UNSW Art & Design
