The Beginning of the End

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard the final ride of Metafora 2008. It's time to unfasten your seatbelts and recline out of the up-tight position, for this will surely be an adventure of epic proportions, hilarious episodes, slippery slopes and monumental moments - all of which you'll want to be immersed in FULLY!

If you take a look around you now you'll notice that there are no exits :) The cabin pressure has been building tension as the AIDS (SIDA) exhibition overlaps with our "Minimalism" theme as well as the preparation for the end-of-term event. Your fellow passengers who aren't hiding with panic are adjusting to the altitude with their own sense of grace and bleary-eyed fortitude. Though many Metafora students may feel like they want the oxygen masks to drop, they are using their reserves to coagulate new ideas and manifest remarkable works of art.



Last week the photography crew were busily snapping away to capture images of "The Beginning of the End".The brochure and invite team have come together to create a wonderful logo - which will be decided upon this afternoon and the blogger people are happily witnessing all of this so it can be cataloged for you here.
