Innovative design work at the 2017 Goldsmiths Design Festival
Last week, the Goldsmiths Design Festival held its third edition, again as part of the London Design Festival. As in the previous year, events took place in a single location, at the St James Hatcham gallery in New Cross. A private industry view for the postgraduate show happened on the evening of September 14th, while family and friends were welcomed on the evening of 15 September; the exhibition remained open until 17 September. All events were free to attend, and drinks were once again provided by The Fat Walrus.
From turning a parachute into fashion to exploring Mukbang, the online trend of broadcasting meals, from investigating different perceptions on human rights to empowering local communities through market hubs, the 2017 MA Show offered a wide range of exciting work. A few of the projects will be featured on the blog soon, so watch this space! You can also find more photos of the exhibits and the opening evening on our Facebook page.

Talks, performances, exhibitions: The 2017 Goldsmiths Design Festival
In addition to this year’s MA Show, the Goldsmiths Design Festival will host a variety of other Design events involving staff, students and leading design practitioners. You can find out what’s on from our programme on the festival website. Here are a few highlights:
- On Friday, 15 September, Dash n’ Dem will present ‘Grime up the River’ and ‘Britannia 3.0’, two collaborative projects that draw from contemporary music trends to consider a young peoples political language and inspire a critical ‘voice from underneath’.
- Also on Friday, three characters from different historical moments will congregate at a mythical ruin of a past future utopia, in a scripted reading for three characters written by Nicholas Mortimer.
- On Sunday, 17 September, a game designed by Vinny Montag and John Halls will highlight the plight of refugees and raise awareness, showing the circumstances that thousands of people, escaping countries in conflict, have to go through.
