The Graduation Show presents over 200 innovative projects by DAE graduates, exploring design’s role in shaping futures, critiquing realities, and sparking dialogue.
Bachelor and Master Graduation Projects
Two entrance galleries introduce BA and MA work, opening thematic pathways that extend across the location, connecting projects through proximity and contrast. Around the Hub, projects make gathering and participation part of the work, while small project rooms allow individual works to establish worlds of their own. The first-floor gallery houses MA projects; the main BA exhibition moves to the second floor. Below ground, film, objects, sound and interactive installations occupy a shared central space and intimate side galleries.
The Arena and the Bookshop
The Arena returns after several years away, in an intimate format supporting programmed discussions, student-led workshops and unscripted exchanges. Beside it, the enlarged Bookshop brings publications, projects and readings into the conversation. This renewed emphasis on gathering echoes a return to relation as a source of resilience in the work itself. Visitors are invited to spend time with a material or a history, participate in a work, or bring their own position into a conversation. Through these encounters, graduates explore what relationships ask of them and work out their own positions: what they take responsibility for, where their skills have purpose, and what role design can play.
