As well as being a showcase of outstanding work from the next generation, this annual event offers students an opportunity to meet each other, industry leaders and representatives from international universities to build relationships that will shape our future.
Held at Dubai Design District (d3), it plays a key role in Dubai’s transformation into an innovation-led economy.
Mohammad Saeed Al Shehhi, COO of d3 commented: “Building on the success of last year’s Global Grad Show, d3 is once again delighted to be welcoming to Dubai such a wealth of rising international talent from a wide range of regional schools. As we witness the growth of the design industry and talent in this region, it is important to have a global outlook so that our regional design students and business partners can seek inspiration from each other.”
Marking a significant milestone and achievement in design education within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, graduate design talent from MENA institutions have been selected to have their work shown alongside globally-recognised leaders such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA), Royal College of Art (UK), and Tsinghua University (Beijing).
Rab McClure, Interim Director of MFA Design Studies, VCUQatar said: “Global Grad Show is a unique platform, giving our students a chance to showcase and exchange ideas with students and educators from top programs around the world. It is a true incubator for the best new and exciting work in education.”
Paul Thompson, Rector of Royal College of Art, which has supported Global Grad Show from the onset commented: “We believe strongly that collaboration lies at the heart of transformative design, so the Global Grad Show is a great way of working across borders to bring about change and improvement in society. We’re excited by the show’s rapid growth.”
