| _ABOUT CHANGEX | CHANGEX 05 is an exhibition of graduate design works that address issues of sustainability, environmental responsibility, social equity and community, and is the first event for 2005 from the Change Design project of the SRD (Society for Responsible Design). The exhibition presents a range of student works (drawn from such diverse fields as industrial design, graphics, architecture, textiles, installation, and multimedia) which extend the boundaries of the discipline and challenge the conventional expectations of the design industry. Design is reclaimed here as a tool for satisfying genuine human needs in ways that are both practical and imaginative, posing a compelling alternative to the contemporary (mis)use of design as an elitist, profit-driven enterprise fuelling unsustainable levels of consumption. Launched with much success in 2004, CHANGEX is an annual event hosted by Change Design as a means of showcasing the works of graduate students in a cross-campus environment, and of promoting new developments in sustainable design theory and practice | | | | All events are free and open to the public.Be provoked and be inspired. | | | |
