The College of Arts and Creative Enterprises (CACE) at Zayed University, presented an exhibition of 23 Emirati students graduating from the Interior Design BFA program.

Historically, at the end of every Spring semester, CACE usually hosts their traditional end of year “showCACE” graduation exhibitions, usually held at Manarat Al Saadiyat (MAS) in Abu Dhabi and at the Dubai Design District (D3) in Dubai. As large physical gatherings are restricted during the global COVID-19 pandemic, design faculty at CACE felt that, despite the restrictions imposed on our communities it was possible to explore other alternative methods to showcase graduating design work from Interior design students. The challenges imposed by the pandemic were not just in adapting to online learning but to try to find solutions to problems and as designers we seeked for opportunities in the pandemic’s restrictions. CACE responded by creating an inmersive virtual exhibition & website. Virtual showCACE: Interior Design.

“The student work, both 2D and 3D is displayed in this virtual environment where visitors can easily navigate and review the students’ hard work. It is a great example of the adaptability and creative thinking within the College during these difficult times.” Dr. Kevin Badni, Dean of CACE.
