About The Stage

As graduates investigate the role of design in shaping reality through an increasingly diverse range of practices, we need new ways of presenting these expanded definitions of design to the world. The Stage is the Graduation Show’s digital platform, offering a digitally-curated environment alongside the physical exhibition of graduation projects. The Stage also forms the site for the Arena; the Graduation Show’s programme of live talks and debates challenging and extending contemporary design discourse.
