"Tiny Worlds: A Journey Through Interconnected Identities" is an art exhibition featuring the capstone works of graduating seniors in the Emory Visual Arts program. Structured as a collective exhibition composed of individual solo presentations, the show brings together six distinct artistic voices that each explore identity through intimate, layered, and often personal lenses. Across mediums and approaches, the works examine how identities are constructed, fragmented, remembered, and reimagined—tracing connections between the personal and the collective, the historical and the contemporary, the internal and the external. Moving between dreamlike states, cultural memory, and material experimentation, Tiny Worlds invites viewers to consider how seemingly small, individual experiences reflect broader systems of meaning and belonging. 

The exhibition will be on view April 28 - May 10, 2026 at the Emory University Visual Arts Gallery. Join us for an opening reception on Tuesday, April 28 from 5-8 pm.

Together, these Capstone Projects by Anvitha Suram, Dorien Johniken, Nacole Rhodes, Risa Lippe, Soph Guerieri, and Sydney Holden highlight the power of individual perspective while emphasizing the connections that bind them. Tiny Worlds asks viewers to look closer—at the subtle, the personal, and the overlooked—and to consider how worlds are deeply interconnected.
