As part of the festival, “Impact!” will showcase collaborative research and design projects from Parsons School of Design that address issues of major social concern and offer solutions through unexpected design approaches. This exhibition will feature multi-disciplinary projects ranging from product design, lighting design, fashion design, and strategic design and management concepts.
