Over/Under: 2022 Design M.F.A. Exhibition

2022 MFA Design exhibition Over Under

About Over/Under

Over/Under is a multifaceted exploration of daily life from six graduating M.F.A. candidates in Design. Through their culminating thesis work, they question their existing relationships with the world and seek new perspectives on the mundane. The exhibition is a collection of designed methods for approaching everyday things, including time, community, and trauma. Each designer urges the viewer to consider a new mindset, encouraging them to slow down, immerse themselves in each experience, and discover new ways of engaging with the world around us.
