Thanks to Federica Capitani for organising the display for this exhibition, to James Winston and Rafael El Baz for the signage, and to Desmond Lim for the plinths. All materials used were natural and designed to be reusable in future exhibitions in the school.

Making Sense

The Making Sense exhibition showed the incredible diversity and creativity of our tutors’ research activities, across a range of disciplines. The projects on display highlighted some of the ways that practice-based research responds to important global issues: asking questions, finding answers (or more questions), and uncovering possibilities.
