We’re delighted to partner with Kommune and their Kurious Worlds festival bringing together a selection of 2022’s graduating students from Art and Design courses at Sheffield Hallam University. These emerging designers and artists don’t work in an academic bubble. From day one they are encouraged to be curious, to seek out real world problems, to investigate them and to propose workable solutions. Their – and our – aim is to inspire real change in the world, to make it work better for everyone.

The works presented here are not just beautifully rendered images (although they often are these too) they are proposals for new products, new spaces or new ways of seeing. The emerging creatives gathered here are united by their curiosity – documenting the world as they find it and how they’d like it to be.
