The second iteration of ARTEFAKTI, the graduation exhibition of the Contemporary Design MA programme, took place from September 6-14, 2024, at Valssaamo, Kaapelitehdas as part of Helsinki Design Week. Showcasing the work of 11 graduates, the exhibition featured a diverse array of creative practices from material experimentation and inventive craftsmanship to evocative storytelling. The exhibition marked the culmination of several years of dedicated study and a labour of love from the exhibition production team.
