Dublin School of Creative Arts

This year’s exhibition is different. As graduates, we have had to adapt to new and challenging circumstances. Moving to an online environment, we had to think of alternate ways to make our Graduate Exhibition come to life. In its translation into a digital space, the very real and tactile nature of the work we produce is obscured. In our daily lives, there is a sense of human and material touch which is equally obscured. Working from home, graduates are in a new environment. Their creative output extends into their domestic lives as their studies come to a close. It is the parallel between the materiality of our work and the absence of the sense touch that frames this year’s Graduate Exhibition.

This website presents the work of 102 graduating students from the TU Dublin School of Creative Arts, School of Mechanical and Design Engineering and School of Media. The exhibition represents the culmination of years of full-time study and gives our students the opportunity to showcase the results of their imagination, hard work, and creative skills.

The Green Door

Ireland imports 80 percent of its food but is also the second-largest exporter of infant milk formula to China. To understand why is to understand globalisation. Providing local food for local people is not a priority for international corporations or global food conglomerates that currently control the agribusiness sector. For them, maximising shareholder return is the primary concern. So more and more people lose the sense of connection with nature, food, and the producer. People should all be buying fruit and veg directly from local farmers. Eating locally grown food is good for health and the environment. Eating locally is a crucial tenet of sustainable agriculture - which refers to farming practices that understand and are conscious of the effects farming has on an ecosystem. This project tried to make a connection between consumer and producer, so as to make consumers get closer to local food and sustainable agriculture.
