The graduation project is the final point within the School. But it is at this moment that the outcome ceases to be an outcome: it breaks up into exhibitions, performances, concerts, and shows — into a desire to express oneself and make a statement. The final exhibition of the festival brings together selected projects, allowing visitors to see not individual works, but a holistic picture of what the new generation of artists and designers is living for.

Projects that existed in different parts of the city are brought together for the first time. The participants' works address the themes of unstable identity, the memory of space, and the vulnerability of digital, cultural, and institutional systems, where failure reveals the hidden and inaudible.

The curatorial concept of the exhibition is based on the concept of carnival as interpreted by Mikhail Bakhtin, which is a special temporary regime in which conventional hierarchies are suspended and social roles are temporarily inverted. Carnival does not destroy order, but creates a space in which it becomes possible to express what is hidden in the regular system.

"The state of the upcoming release is similar to the concept of carnival as understood by Mikhail Bakhtin: This is not a celebration of disorder, but a temporary inversion of the usual order, where a student can take the place of a teacher, and what is usually left without a voice can be heard," said Vassa Pyrkova, the exhibition's curator.

Participants: Karina Batrachenko, Maria Dubodel, Ksenia Zinovieva, Roman Mironov and Anna Shaposhnikova, Ulyana Moiseeva, Alexandra Novgorodova, Sofia Perova, Katya Sergeeva, Ulyana Sorokina and Renata Sharipova, and Inga Tatarshao.
