While I don’t think anyone actually reads this blog (other than my father, what up dad?!), I think it is important to document my time at Parsons for myself and posterity.
For a little over a week now, Parsons has been hosting the first ever Parsons Festival to showcase all of the design programs and many of their students’ semester and year-long projects. The MFA D+T Thesis show is one of the main events of the Festival. If you are in NYC, it is definitely worth stopping by Kellen Gallery at 2 West 13th Street before May 23 to see all of the exhibited thesis projects. If you cannot make it in person, the show’s website is pretty stellar, too. This past weekend was the Thesis symposium, a series of presentations and discussions by graduating thesis students and prominent faculty and industry professionals. The talks were interesting and inspiring, and can even be viewed here.
I am grateful to have been mostly done with my own projects in order to be able to enjoy all of the Festival’s festivities. I have been inspired by my fellow students’ work and cannot wait to contribute with my own in a year.
