Join us on Monday, May 12, 2025 for the MFA DSI Thesis Show 2025. Celebrate this year’s graduating students as they share their thesis projects. Through inspiring interventions, social issues, and partners, their explorations show us how MFA Design for Social Innovation designers find a common coexistence in future-building.
- How might our collective past/histories shape what is to come?
- Why is design needed today for lasting social change?
- What does it look like to co-design the future we want to see?
Their work responds to relevant social issues of today that will impact tomorrow, including language justice, space trash crisis, conscious consumption, AI and emerging technologies in education, emotional health and wellbeing, and women’s financial freedoms.
MFA DSI graduate students explore social innovation through co-design and community-led collaborations supporting people and the planet. This year our keynote speaker is Amer Jandali (MFA DSI ‘16), founder of Marketplace of the Future and CEO of social design studio, Future Meets Present.
Collectively, as we find root and purpose in the power of our coexistence, the MFA DSI Thesis Show 2025 urges us to consider how social design can be used – to build a future where we can all thrive.
RSVP today and share with your friends.
