In December Snapshot brought you news of Future Map 11. Now seven of the University of the Arts London Future Map 11 nominees have been selected to showcase their work in one of Selfridges‘ world famous windows this January and February. The window display has been designed by StudioXAG and curated by the Future Map 11 team and includes work by Camberwell College of Arts graduates: Chieh Ting Huang (lighting design), Joanna Mires (ceramics) and Karin Soderquist (illustration).
