| _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. |
