As the programme leads for this year's MA Architecture write in their introduction to their RCA2021 showcase: 'As the storm continues to cast debris all around us, it's important to reflect on architecture, its complicity in contributing to the mess of our world, and the urgency of practising otherwise.' Taking place in a disused space, the purpose of which is currently being re-imagined, was apt for this year's Architecture graduate event which brought together students from our MA Architecture and MA Interior Design at Wapping's Hydraulic Power Station. I met potential customers for my collections as well as a lot of stylists, photographers and performers, and various companies who could support the production of my collection to an actual sale.' School of Architecture Graduate Show – the urgency of practicing otherwiseĪDS6: Body of Making at Wapping Hydraulic Power Station 'It was a chance to explain my work in person and in a space in which people could touch and feel my garments. Turning their fashion collections into a public art installation offered Seungmin and her fellow students a chance 'to share each other's work and feel synergy with them as well-meaning competitors.' ' Art on the Grass showed me the power of community', MA Fashion graduate Seungmin Koh said of the unique show which took place in Victoria Park, East London this July. Sevil Fekri, Siobhan Palin, Dimitris Karagiannakis Keiga Hua Hui's work in Victoria Park Art on the Grass – a collective coming together Here's what we heard from some of our graduating cohort on their individual satellite shows and what it meant to them to exhibit their work. Under the conditions of the pandemic many of our RCA2021 graduating cohorts turned to new ways of presenting work – collaborating with external organisations and turning traditional perceptions on their head to reveal new elements within their practice. Leaving us with a record of shows as reflective on the current moment in time as they are on the future of Art & Design practice. Our festival of physical satellite events celebrating work from our 2021 graduates is almost at an end.
