“A key role of an art and design college is to nurture, empower and enable the emergent work of its students. Hence the tag line of this year’s shows – #CSMemerge and the identity of a fluid, fluctuating form that is affected by external influences, bristling with an energy that extends far beyond the walls of the College. This year, more than ever, our students have opened up to the outside world: reacting to, commenting on, reframing and redrawing the multiple forces to which they have been exposed.”

– Jeremy Till, Head of Central Saint Martins
