Date
21 October 2024
The annual event in Rome that presents and rewards the most innovative projects developed by recent graduates returns this year with a double date at the Museo delle Civiltà in Rome, Tuesday 5 and Wednesday 6 November.
On 5 November at 6.30 pm there will be an award ceremony and the opening of the exhibition featuring the twenty-two finalist projects, selected from all the thesis projects of the year carried out by the Rome-based schools of Visual Arts, Fashion, Design and Communication. There are three awards presented: Best Project, decreed by a jury of successful alumni and alumnae, the “Design for Commons” award, for those whose work has succeeded in intercepting the themes of regeneration and the sharing of the commons, and finally the Press Award, assigned by a jury of journalists.
Presenting the evening will be Riccardo Zianna, a Media Design graduate, now director of Facce Caso and presenter for Spaghetti Unplugged.
On Wednesday, 6 November, the doors of the Museo delle Civiltà will also open to secondary schools. They will be treated to an event where it will be possible to visit the exhibition, meet the award winners and learn about the journey of the IED Alumni who are now established professionals in various disciplines.
The event, now in its sixth year, has this year gathered two outstanding juries. Selecting the best project and the winning project in the “Design for Commons” category is video producer and director Daniel Bedusa, PIFERI creative director and footwear designer Alfredo Casadei Piferi, Hello creative writer Stefano Falcone, ZASH co-founder and designer Lorenzo Perna, and Studio Mistaker, a multidisciplinary studio founded in Rome in 2016 by Martina Tariciotti and Riccardo Casinelli, specialising in visual design, infographics and motion graphics.
The press award was instead presented by Elena Dallorso (AD Italia), Diletta Parlangeli (Radio2), Giulia Mangano (Will Ita and Chora Media), Manuela Perrone (Il Sole 24 Ore), Gianmaria Tammaro (La Stampa, La Repubblica, Esquire, Rivista Studio).
