Monash Art, Design and Architecture (MADA) has launched its annual student exhibition, featuring works from more than 800 graduating students across the broad discipline areas of art, design and architecture.
MADA Now 2025 is open at Monash University’s Caulfield campus until December 5.
Among outstanding works in several areas is the Inclusive City studio by Qinglan Yang, Yiming Liu, Retno Palupi, Zahrul Basimah and Deynanti Primalaila in the Architecture and Urban Planning and Design category.
The work explores how Melbourne’s industrial areas could be repurposed into mixed-use spaces where production, services and community life intersect.
Professor Mel Dodd, Dean of Monash Art, Design and Architecture, said MADA Now is a celebration of bold new ideas.
“MADA Now celebrates work that is both experimental and engaged, proving that creative leadership has a vital role to play in imagining and shaping more inclusive, healthy, and regenerative futures,” Professor Dodd said.
Associate Professor Spiros Panigirakis, Head of Department of Fine Art, said the exhibition demonstrates the students’ incredible academic journey.
“It’s always a privilege to be part of the journey our students go on from when they first join our programs to now when they’re about to graduate,” Associate Professor Panigirakis said.
“It’s exciting to see the work emerge from the classroom and into the exhibition space where the broader community has an opportunity to engage with the art.”
