Celebrating thirty-four years and featuring sixty-three works by 2025 Year 12 Visual Arts graduates from forty-three schools across Western Australia, works showcased provide insight into young people’s private, social, and artistic concerns. Themes range from self-identity – including cultural intersections, mental health, neurodiversity, and sexuality – through to environmental concern, racial and societal inequality, processing loss, and social pressures of conforming and performing through school and beyond – the works gauging the pulse of young people who will influence, empower, and shape the world we live in.
