Featured exhibition
Design in Public
Graphic design becomes most vivid when it enters a shared space: on the page, in the street, across a screen, around a table or in a room full of people looking closely. This exhibition feature offers a flexible editorial frame for presenting student work alongside the ideas, processes and histories that inform it.
Use the Showcase to extend the experience online, then update this event block with confirmed display dates and visitor information.
