As part of the BA in Studio Art curriculum, the graduating seniors attend their final course “Advanced Studio Practice” which opens a space for them to develop a working process and build a personal proposition on a topic of their choice. The course also includes opportunities for students to present their work and collaborate by engaging in their Final Year Exhibition.
The 2022 exhibition was held at the Rose and Shaheen Saleeby Museum, one of the American University of Beirut's Galleries
All eight students took charge of curating their Final Year Exhibition, with William Okaily and Amanda El Bitar leading the process.
William and Amanda made sure that all propositions were addressed and discussed and then put together the concept of the exhibition, the poster, and the exhibition statement.
