The British Council and Pearl Academy come together to present Design Without Borders: Creative Futures Collective, an exhibition exploring the evolving relationship between design, creativity, education and the future.
Bringing together diverse perspectives from the world of design and creative education, the exhibition considers how design can respond to a rapidly changing world and shape new possibilities for people, communities and industries.
Design Without Borders creates a space to explore ideas, approaches and creative practices that challenge conventional boundaries. It highlights the role of creativity and design education in imagining and building more inclusive, innovative and sustainable futures.
The exhibition brings together the work and perspectives of emerging designers, students and creative practitioners, offering audiences an opportunity to engage with new ideas and ways of thinking about design.
The exhibition also reflects the importance of India–UK exchange in design and creative education, creating connections between creative communities and encouraging dialogue around the future of the creative economy.
Design Without Borders: Creative Futures Collective is presented by Pearl Academy in partnership with the British Council.
Open to the public from 5 September to 31 October 2026.
