Central Saint Martins has a global reputation for change-making through creative practice. We create and practise ideas, materials, systems and actions for a better future in a more-than-human world.
This show season, our graduating students will exhibit their work across art, design and performance, evidencing our mission to regenerate creativity for real, productive change. From our pool of more than 1,000 students, fifty-one have been nominated as contenders for the MullenLowe NOVA Awards for Fresh Creative Talent.
Their work illustrates the collective coming-of-age of creatives living in the Anthropocene. Through a variety of media, material and methodologies, their work embodies common themes of identity, nature, consumption, tradition, religion, queerness, our connection and interdependence with one another and other life forms, the fragility and conversely, the power of the world we live in, and the transitioning of time.
Congratulations to each of our 51 nominees for #MLGNOVA for creating an outstandingly strong collection for this fifteen edition of the Nova awards.
Look out for the MullenLowe NOVA nominated projects at the CSM Shows: 2025,19 - 22 June and at CSM Shows: Postgraduate Art, 2-6 July, and online via the UAL Showcase.
