When designing for young children it is important to experience the world as they do. This form of empathy allows for deeper sense connection and understanding.
"It’s a Kid’s World! Play, Imagine, Create" embraces the imagination of a child and what it means to design for young audiences. In this exhibition, play, inquiry, and wonder take center stage, through interactive and educational components designed to engage visitors and showcase the work of FIT students in Fashion Design (Children’s Wear), Toy Design, Illustration, Textile/Surface Design, and Footwear and Accessories Design.
In the back gallery, a selection of work from a special project by the nonprofit adoption services organization Spence-Chapin titled “Dear Future: Elevating Children’s Voices” highlights the stories of a group of children residing in an orphanage in Cali, Colombia. Featuring photography, video work, and vibrant costumes, the project explores the possibilities that emerge when vulnerable children are given the space to dream. - Rights
