More Information

Look. Look again. Look differently. Step inside the Observatory and view the life and work of Central Saint Martins, in an exhibition celebrating interdependence in creative practice. Across art, design and performance, projects by students and staff demonstrate creativity as a connector: of people, places and ideas.

This exhibition gathers a breadth of projects from across material innovation, socially engaged design, digital exploration and beyond. It counters the idea of a singular practitioner to demonstrate how creative practice – and creative education – rely on an interdependent network of people, moments, spaces, resources and skills. Each exhibit brings with it a story of iteration, exploration and conversation. Our Observatory invites you to look closer, to examine creativity as a process and to witness transformation. 12 September – 31 October 2024
