Event details

Design thrives at the edge of contradiction. Protocol & Paradox explores the friction point between rigid operational systems (protocols) and the fluid, unpredictable nature of human experience (paradoxes).

As global structures grow more automated and complex, design can no longer rely on simple formulas. The MA Design graduate showcase positions the contemporary designer as a critical researcher operating within these systemic tensions.

By embracing algorithmic rules, societal infrastructures and technological frameworks, the graduating cohort uncovers unexpected vulnerabilities to design meaningful interventions for public life.

The exhibition is structured across three research themes: Design For Social Change, Systems Design and Technology and Design Innovation.
