Refractions of Practice

VCUarts Qatar invites you to Refractions of Practice, an alumni panel discussion presented as part of the school’s participation in the 2025 London Design Biennale. Featuring alumni representatives from four projects within the Matter Diplopia pavilion exhibition, the panel will explore the exhibition’s central sub-themes: Material Innovation, Cultural Narrative and Tech, and Observing Environments. Through candid conversation and critical reflection, the alumni panelists will share how their work responds to complex global contexts while remaining grounded in the experimental, collaborative, and transdisciplinary ethos fostered at VCUarts Qatar. This event offers a unique lens into the evolving impact of alumni practice across geographies and design disciplines.
