The invitation for the Character exhibit

Join us to celebrate this incredible work by our very own 3rd Year Communication Design Students.
University Student Center - Kirr Commons
Exhibit on View: October 9 – November 3, 2025
Opening time: 2:00pm - 5:00pm

This exhibition invites you to explore the difficult task of giving moral character a visual voice. Character: complex, unseen, and often debated, is shown here not as an abstract idea but as something experienced and acted out in everyday life.

Through design, students have transformed ideas of character into interactive visual systems that people can question, share, and debate. Their work does not try to make “being good” look appealing. Instead, it uncovers the tensions and contradictions within ethical life: who decides what constitutes moral character, whose values take precedence when they clash, and how our decisions influence the communities we belong to.

Join us for the opening on October 9 to explore work that sparks conversation rather than provides simple answers, encouraging us all to see character not as fixed but as something shaped, tested, and lived in daily practice.
