Inspired by the concept of rhizomes—a term traditionally used to describe underground plant stems that grow in complex, interconnected ways—this exhibition engaged with the philosophical frameworks of Deleuze and Guattari. Their emphasis on diversity, plurality, and horizontal power dynamics challenged conventional hierarchical or binary structures, offering a lens through which to view contemporary graphic design.
The 2024 Design Thesis Exhibition from the Department of Art and Art History at Florida International University (FIU CARTA) showcased a diverse array of graphic design approaches, reflecting a spectrum that ranged from traditional techniques to cutting-edge contemporary styles. This multifaceted exploration included both familiar design formats and innovative sculptural installations, emphasizing the varied creative interests of the Fall 2024 graduates.
Curated by Silvia Pease and Ozan Atalan, the exhibition was held at DORCAM, located at 8300 NW 36th Street, Doral, Florida. The opening reception took place on November 15th from 6–9 PM, and the exhibition continued through November 20, 2024.
