On Friday 26 June, the school and our wider global community came together to celebrate Projects Review 2020 as the culmination of the 2019–20 academic year. The breadth and diversity of agendas, themes and projects across the School were showcased in AAround the World, a 12-hour live event that travelled across time zones showcasing work curated by participating students. Through presentations, physical and virtual exhibition tours, films and performances students presented their work to a worldwide audience from wherever they were across the globe. Similar to watching New Year’s celebrations unfold across the world from Sydney to Los Angeles, the Projects Review baton passed from place to place through different time zones as a new form of exhibition. The event launched the Projects Review website and digital AA Book 2020 that collects student work from across all units and programmes this year.
