Monash Art, Design and Architecture (MADA) has launched its annual student exhibition, featuring works from over 800 graduating students across art, design, and architecture. The exhibition, MADA Now 2025, is on display at Monash University’s Caulfield campus until December 5.
The exhibition showcases a range of innovative projects, including Niosha Khademideljou’s “Gathering Around the Korsi,” an immersive installation exploring identity, memory, and community, and Justine Walsh’s “Listening, Singing in the Half-Light,” a multimedia work combining Irish language and folklore with stories of Boandik Country. Other notable projects include Fairuz Jahan’s “FITED” rehabilitation unit, a finalist in the 2025 Victorian Premier Design Awards, and Lucy Corcoran’s “FLOJO,” a children’s board game promoting inclusive menstruation education.
Architecture and Urban Planning and Design projects include the Inclusive City studio, which explores repurposing Melbourne’s industrial areas into mixed-use spaces, and Emma Dehghani’s project responding to the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra, celebrating its resilience and adaptability.
“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,” said Professor Mel Dodd, Dean, Monash Art, Design and Architecture, Monash University.
“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,” said Associate Professor Spiros Panigirakis, Head of Department of Fine Art, Monash Art, Design and Architecture, Monash University. “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.”
