Call for Submissions—'Unfolding' exhibition (BA Scheme students & recent graduates)

1 Feb 2019

The Communication Design programme of PolyU Design is organising a student and recent graduate exhibition in collaboration with the design departments of Ewha Womans University, Korea. Interested students and recent graduates of all BA programmes at PolyU Design are invited to submit a work (this may be an existing work) on or before 28 February. From each university, 20 works will be selected for display, meaning 3-5 works from each of PolyU Design’s BA programmes. 

The exhibition will provide students, recent graduates, and teachers from the two institutions an opportunity for conversation. At the same time, it offers students and recent graduates a chance to showcase their work to the public in the form of a group show.

About the Exhibition

Exhibition title: Unfolding

Categories: Space, Visual, Product, Media
Exhibition period: 27 March – 3 April, 2019
Submission Deadline: 28 February, 2019 

Unfolding 

The exhibition Unfolding brings together works from students and graduates from the School of Design of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the College of Arts and Design of Ewha Womans University in Seoul, creating a visual dialogue between young designers in East Asia. 

The contemporary economy in the era of convergence is continually searching for ways to break down barriers and develop new methods to build a better tomorrow. In parallel, design is continuing to be multifaceted and increasingly multidisciplinary—through creativity, community, technology—unfolding potentials and possibilities across and between design fields. 

Unfolding—referencing something in process, becoming—aims to present design works produced by undergraduate students and recent graduates from the two cities. Through these works, it considers approaches and perspectives of young designers as their practices and futures are unfolding. It is hoped that the visual dialogue this engenders will lead to an understanding of convergent topics of concern and ideas about forthcoming design trends.
