Exhibitions, x-change, and Publishing as Praxis

Catalog description

x-change is the annual publication of Carnegie Mellon Architecture (CM—A) that showcases work from first-year students to PhD candidates. Inaugurated in 2017 as EX-CHANGE, the publication has since evolved into x-change to more pointedly reflect its role as a platform for critical discourse and reflection. in otherwards is the publishing imprint of CM—A that publishes books, FOLIOs and broadsheets on emerging and ongoing vocabularies, narratives, and cosmologies that shape the built environment, toward epistemic plurality. In this course, students will work alongside x-change and in otherwards Imprint director Tuliza Sindi, and the 2026 publication and exhibition graphic designers and copy editor, to gain direct experience with editorial and curatorial practices. Students will also develop publishing systems and initiate the imprint's first FOLIO publication. There is the option to continue working on these projects in paid roles over the summer and early fall.
