First-year students in the SVA MFA Designer As Author program, led by co-chairs Steven Heller and Lita Talarico, present their work in the seventh annual 3D product design exhibition. Souvenir...The Rest Is History, showcases booths from historical and cultural events along with souvenirs relevant to each booth. The exhibit is curated by award-winning art director and master craftsman Kevin O’Callaghan, whose work has appeared in The New York Times, People magazine and on MTV.

People buy souvenirs when they travel as mementos of their intellectual and emotional experiences. This exhibit appeals to such thoughts and feelings, but instead of Las Vegas, London or Tokyo, the “destinations” here are historical and cultural events of each student's choosing.
