The Observatory
This London Design Festival exhibition celebrates interdependence in creative practice. Across art, design and performance, work by students and staff demonstrates creativity as a connector: of people, places and ideas.
Here, we counter the idea of a solo innovator to demonstrate how creative practice – and creative education – relies on an interdependent network of people, moments, spaces, resources and skills. A discovery in the Grow Lab, a conversation over a beer, a well-thumbed library book, a new tool that opens up possibility, a mistake that became a breakthrough.
Each exhibit brings with it a story of iteration, exploration and conversation. Our Observatory invites you to look closer, to examine creativity as a process and to witness transformation.
Step inside and connect with the life and work of Central Saint Martins.
