SIG Playful Media Showcase 2025 poster

This year marks the 19th anniversary of the Playful Media Showcase. Our main theme this time is 'SYNAPSES', symbolising the way artists within the School of Creative Media connect and collaborate within an interconnected web of creativity. Just as synapses enable the transmission of signals between neurons, our ideas will interact and inspire one another in this shared creative space.
