The exhibition of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) on Thursday explores the dimensions of care through personal stories, social issues and environmental challenges.
MOME INTRO: The exhibition, titled Layers of Care, presents student projects from the university’s nine undergraduate programmes – Animation, Design Culture, Architecture, Design, Photography, Media Design, Object Design, Graphic Design and Textile Design – until October 18, the exhibited works were selected by the curators in an open competition, the university told MTI on Wednesday.
Student projects do not provide a single answer to how we should care, but rather make it visible through different situations where attention, adaptation, protection or change is needed.
