| ABOUT CHANGEX |
| CHANGEX
is an annual exhibition of student art + design works that address
issues of sustainability, environmental responsibility, social equity
and community. Now in its third year, the exhibition will be complemented
by an expanded series of events of interest to young designers, professionals,
and community members alike. Works showcased in the exhibition have been drawn from a wide range of design fields including industrial design, architecture and interiors, landscape, textiles, graphics, installation and multimedia. Retaining its emphasis on recent graduates, this year’s exhibitors will also include high school students and current students from the University of Sydney, UTS, UNSW, COFA and UWS. These diverse projects approach design as a tool for satisfying genuine human needs in ways that are both practical and imaginative, challenging the conventional expectations of the design industry and extending the boundaries of their discipline. |
