Design Incubation 11.1: Boston University

BU College of Fine Arts School of Visual Arts presents Design Incubation 11.1: Boston University, organized by the MFA Graphic Design program.

Kristen Coogan, Associate Professor of Graphic Design and Chair of Graduate Graphic Design, along with Assistant Professor of Graphic Design Mary Yang and the Boston University Graphic Design (BUGD) department, have partnered with Design Incubation (DI) to launch DI’s tenth-anniversary colloquium as part of BUGD Design Week. The 2024 Colloquium will showcase design research in lively, interactive sessions featuring practitioners, creators, educators, and students in a live, in-person event. These sessions will explore creative research, practice, and the adjacent fields that influence their work through four themes: Design + Translation, Design + Subversion, Design + Performance, and Design + Methodology.
