The Journey Comes Full CircleLocations Series
A concert and exhibition experience featuringMilanzi Melodies and the UP Fine Arts Fourth-Year Students
From the first spark of an idea to the final work of art.
Earlier this year, Firelight invited you into the creative worlds of our fourth-year Fine Arts students through projected imagery, live music and a shared exploration of their artistic processes. We witnessed art in the making. Now, we invite you back to see what became of it.
The evening celebrates Morphologies of (De)constructing, the 2026 fourth-year Fine Arts exhibition. Working across sculpture, painting, photography, ceramics, printmaking, artist books and installation, these emerging artists explore questions of identity, memory, cultural inheritance and the world around them. Through experimentation, familiar forms are reimagined, ideas are challenged and new possibilities emerge.
Fourth-year students will also guide groups across the Javett bridge to view work in the South Campus studios.
Join us for a special evening of live music, art, a light meal and plenty of refreshments from our much-loved Firelight concert bar.
