21st May, 2022
Day 3 is a long day that starts at 10:00 and ends at 21:00.
The morning and afternoon are dedicated to making the final works with a reception party in the evening for participants to present and communicate their learnings, process and outcomes.
Participants make the final pushes to finish their works for the exhibition.
They decided to create one circular flow map as a team.
Their circular flow map focuses on Japanese schools and Uniforms.
After some trials, the participants decided to set up the room with tables, stools and a carpet to create a school-like space for the exhibition.
On the evening of Day 3, a semi-public exhibition and reception party was held at Studio A-lot-of-things.
The aim of holding the exhibition was to encourage the participants to reach a level of completeness in their works and organize their processes and thoughts by creating an opportunity for them to present their work and process to an audience.
The guests were Dr. Motoko Uchimaru, the CEO of colourloop, friends and colleagues of the participants, and Design MA students from KIT.
