MA Design Colloquia 2025

Zehdenicker Strasse designer collective

MA Modul 2 – Program SoSe 2025

In weekly colloquia plans will be made for the MA graduation show and knowledge is gathered on post graduate praxis scenarios, to explore how to continue in design after graduation.

MA show & event
How do you imagine your graduation show, which guests would you like to welcome and who are you aiming to see and speak to? How to organize that? In a number of Jour Fixes the group plans the exhibition design plus PR and invites for a vernissage and a special event (finnisage) in Feldfünf at the end of September / mid October.

Design & Praxis colloquia
Different perspectives are looked at through meet-and-greets with young and experienced designers in their studios, talks, visits to manufacturers, design labels, social practices and Post graduate options + financing. Next to this there will be inputs on topics such as dealing with press and competitions.

Keep a weekly eye on the online program below!
It will be updated over the semester and…. times might change sometimes.
