Re:generating Creativity pulses with the restless energy that has always defined Central Saint Martins. A showcase for staff, student and graduate projects that show how creativity doesn’t just respond to our world — it regenerates it.

What happens when artists, designers and performers refuse to accept the world as it is and instead ask: what could it become?

From designing with nature and playful approaches to materials, to political works of hope and richly developed storytelling, Re:generating Creativity is a showcase for work from CSM’s staff, students and recent graduates and a forum for dialogue and exchange.

The exhibition unfolds thematically across 3 parts:

  • Re:making draws on heritage, craft and tradition, proving that looking back can propel us forward.
  • Re:grounding engages identity, community and place, revealing how personal experience can transform global understanding.
  • Re:visioning embraces emerging technologies to build futures that put kinship, care and connection at their centre.

Weaving these together are investigations of themes including love, hope, culture, collaboration, materials, systems, identity and place. These themes, chosen by the featured artists and designers, reveal how the CSM community is exploring what it means to be human in a more-than-human world.

Opening times

Wednesday-Friday: 11am–6pm
