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.

Creative Therapy

Creativity Therapy is inspired by musicians who suffered from depression and chose to expres their feelings by being creative and making music. Creative Therapy targets people between the age of 16-28 who are suffering from depression, stress and anxiety. This box set focusses on using creativity to help people through depression, stress and anxiety. The box set includes four records featuring artists who have inspired this project, there is a total of 16 tracks in this boxset. Each record relates to the four creative mediums the box set asks you to use; Paint, Sketch, Write and Photograph. The records take the same visual language of that of a paracetamol package. The record cover being the package, the sleeve being the blister pack and the fold out poster being the instructional leaflet. In the box set there is also a creative journal. In this journal is where you will find all the creative tasks which you can complete over 4 weeks.
