Special Event

MFA Design for Social Innovation presents the 2024 thesis show. Celebrate this year’s graduating students as they share their year-long thesis projects, responding to complex, critical issues of the world today with care and offering hope for the future.

MFA DSI graduate students are engaging with an array of diverse communities, from Bronx hip-hop culture to New York City residents, from South Asian diaspora to Chinese-American communities and first-generation Korean immigrant women, from asylum-seeking students to empowering young women in Latin America. These collaborations and co-creative efforts exemplify the incredible transformative power of social design to spark change and grow deeper in our connections. Interventions bring storytelling, music, art therapy, and technology to explore issues of environmental health, race and gender equity, care and wellbeing across generations and disciplines.

MFA Design for Social Innovation faculty member Karen Proctor (Harbor Workshop) will join the event as the 2024 keynote speaker.
