Beyond the Wall
The wall is a tool for both control and agency. Beyond the Wall, a student-led EDIJ exhibition, records separation by design—the experience of facing oppressive walls and the ways that people transform them. This exhibition highlights the parallels between various citizen-led interventions that redefine the wall as a surface for self-expression, a shaper of gathering spaces, or something to be transgressed. Here, that effort is humanized and celebrated.

Students’ Solair Wins at Winter Stations 2025
Winter Stations is an annual international design competition in Toronto, transforming unused lifeguard towers at Kew and Woodbine beaches into temporary winter art installations. Now in its 11th year, the 2025 theme, Dawn, explores transformation and renewal. We’re thrilled to announce that our undergraduate team—Jade Yu Tung Wong, Arjun Jain, Finn Ferrall, Marko Sikic, and Nick Kisil, guided by Professor Vincent Hui—has won with Solair, an installation that uses light, wind, and reflection to create a dynamic, interactive experience, capturing the ephemeral beauty of dawn.
