Drawing from the 2014 X-Men film, in which time-traveling characters act on their past to alter the future and create a new, rewritten present, the seven artists featured mine the recent past to explore our present condition.

The artists in the exhibition present a subverted form of hauntology. Rather than focusing on loss, they approach the recent cultural past with a curiosity to bring on the new.

The Days of the Future Past, Graduate Art MFA Exhibition, opening is part of the College’s Spring 2026 graduation events.
