Their graduation work is showcased in the academy wide Graduation Show from the 8th up until the 11th of July. Make sure you plan your visit. If you cannot attend, no worries, just visit our online graduation show catalogue where you can read all about our graduates' projects and vision.

We leave you with an invitation to reflect: For whom and by whom is culture produced? This question, which was already asked by art critics such as William Morris and John Ruskin in the 19th century, is central to the work of designer, critic and MID teacher Bas van Beek.
Bas is all about democratizing design. He doesn't hesitate to use the work of his predecessors in his own designs or to work for the local animal shop! Last semester our first year students partook in his way of working. Read about all this here.
That's all for now.
Feel free to reach out if you have a question about a particular project or want to partner up with MID. We are always open for new collaborations!
