Theme: Seen and Unseen
The theme ‘Seen and Unseen’ for the GSA Graduate Art Prize 2025 invites artists to explore the visible and invisible forces that shape our world, identities, and experiences. From overlooked moments and hidden emotions to the contrast between public and private selves, this theme encourages reflection on what is revealed, what remains concealed, and the stories that lie in between.
This theme was chosen to spark conversation around visibility, recognition, and the complex, often layered realities of graduate life.
