Featuring Boyuan Hao, Lucien Liu, and Shahzad Bhiwandiwala
"How I Broke into the Photography Industry: Recent Alumni Discuss Their First Steps After Graduation"
Our first “Breaking In" Roundtable discussion was on Wednesday, April 14, 2021. During this event we chatted with three MFA alumni:
Lucien Liu / curation & museum work
Boyuan Hao / fine art / e-commerce
Shahzad Bhiwandiwala / commercial & fashion
We caught up with each student to hear what they are currently up to creatively and occupationally and asked them to share the challenges of their first year out of school. We addressed the questions of balancing art and commerce, the power of networking online and in-person, mistakes we have made, and the doors that have been both opened and closed due to the Covid pandemic.
