Design Gathering: Storytelling – The Journey of Design, by Poorvaja Subramanian and Abrar Kebaili

All welcome, pre-registration required

This gathering offers an intimate yet engaging space for graphic designers to reflect on the creative processes behind exhibition design. Centered on personal narratives and shared experiences, the programme highlights the evolution of ideas, design challenges and meaningful turning points. Through presentations, group discussions and guided prompts, participants will explore how designers shape their philosophies and approaches, emphasising process over outcome and fostering dialogue across disciplines. This programme is of particular interest to graphic designers and visual design enthusiasts.

This programme is preceded by an Assembly-led exhibition tour of the 2025 Youth Takeover. Participants are encouraged to attend this tour to learn more about the Takeover themes and exhibited works. Register your spot through the above link.
