The New Generation

About:

They don't ask the same questions and seek the same answers. They are not afraid to think and act differently – beyond the familiar and the obvious. The New Generation is a review of projects from four Polish design and art schools. What do young designers live by today? What moves them?

Contemporary design is at a turning point. On the one hand, we are still surrounded by systems created according to the logic of consumerist growth, while on the other, we see more and more clearly that such a model is unsustainable. In this space of uncertainty and transformation, the voice of the younger generation of the design community is resounding with unprecedented force. Through their works, they are talking about the world they want to live in.

Thinking differently is not just a slogan – it is a necessity. What comes to the fore is not what is designed, but how and why. It is a story about design as a tool for change, where the process is as important as the end result. We invite you to look at design through the eyes of the young generation – sensitive, aware and full of determination.

This year's edition of the New Generation exhibition is a selection of the most interesting student projects from four universities: Bydgoszcz University of Technology, Academy of Art in Szczecin, Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk and Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków.
