Opening May 7 Making Sense: Student Work Exhibition

Opening Reception: Thursday, May 7 | 4-6 p.m. How do we understand the world around us? Our senses shape not only what we perceive but also how we create. Making Sense, our end-of-year student exhibition, explores design as both an act of making sense and an act of engaging with the senses themselves. Featuring student projects that investigate the material, tactile and sensory dimensions of design practice, the work on display asks: which senses do we privilege in design, and what new questions emerge when we engage others?
