Transit presents the thesis work of six American University MFA candidates: Phaedra Askarinam, Pooja Campbell, Patricia Edwine Poku, Connor Gagne, Andrés Izquierdo, Julia Cheng Zhang, whose practices encompass painting, photography, ceramics, installation, and performance. While they each draw on their unique personal histories, they find common cause as a cohort in the concept of transit—a word that one dictionary defines as “an act, process, or instance of passing through or over.” To varying degrees, their work examines the transitions—between cultures, through grief, into parenthood—that define moments of self-discovery.” ⁠
