Sown Together

November 2024

The Fall 2024 Boston University Graphic Design Senior Exhibition, Sown Together, cultivates the metaphor of a garden and the interwoven practice of design to explore the balance between individual expression, collaborative innovation, and collective growth.

Inspired by the way gardens thrive in their diversity, Sown Together is its own vegetable garden where ideas and individuality are planted side by side. Our garden is modular and interconnected in nature, sectioned by “vegetable” to showcase overlapping themes and subjects; Sown Together demonstrates how distinct perspectives come together to enrich our design landscape. Every student’s work brings something unique, adding color and depth to this collective and flourishing garden.

Sown Together stitches together the colorful textiles of forty-four Graphic Design BFA candidates’ “New Horizons” projects and senior thesis explorations. With a playful and organic approach, we embrace the raw, evolving side of graphic design. Just as plants grow stronger when nurtured alongside others, the GD class of 2025 celebrates the collaborative nature of design, growing together as a unified, yet diverse, creative community.
