Generous Feedback: CMU School of Design Exhibition

Join the CMU Design Seniors as they celebrate their accomplishments and share their most recent projects! The work featured in the show offers insight into the culmination of four years of study, pushing the boundaries of medium and method in the field of design.

Generous Feedback has been generated through a series of conversations, thoughts and interactions by the School of Design, Class of 2019. It is a collection of work, rooted in discourse around topics that span across time and context. The works are about taking up space in the issues we face in our lives, and navigating the ambiguity with an open posture. We’ve realized, over the course of our four years, we’ve each developed a framework for thinking and communicating about how the world is and how it could be. The translation of that framework is the work that we have put forward.

As a collective, we are curious. The questions we ask address the everyday topics and speculate the possible futures we will face. Our work probes, provokes and scopes interesting problems and attempts to address them. The things we put out into the world have an ecosystem, an impact and a built-in discourse. This show is about that discourse.

The discourse we have as a social community is just as powerful. We support each other, challenge each other and respect each other immensely. Our work is a potent product of our years of personal and professional growth as a class. We value our social fabric and our relationships and we hope that translates in the work you will see.
