Exhibition: Adapt/Evolve — Closes

September 18–October 25, 2025
Art and Design Gallery, Pomerantz Center

Adapt/Evolve is a thought-provoking exhibition that examines adaptive and inclusive design across disciplines within FIT’s School of Art and Design, including Fashion Design, Accessories Design, Interior Design, Graphic Design, Jewelry Design, and Toy Design.

The exhibition highlights how interdependence is central to how we live, interact, and create inclusive design. Adapt/Evolve reexamines the idea of autonomy and questions traditional divides between dependence and independence. Through multidisciplinary objects, the show also emphasizes how accessible and adaptive design has become a vehicle for breaking down barriers, allowing us to engage with one another more equally.

Adapt/Evolve will be accompanied by a symposium, which will be held October 16, noon–5 pm. The symposium will feature panel discussions and presentations investigating adaptive design.
