What Is the TOK Exhibition?
The TOK Exhibition is a unique assessment task in the IB Diploma Programme where students explore how TOK concepts relate to real-life objects or images. It replaces the previous TOK presentation and counts toward your final TOK grade.
In the exhibition, you select three objects or images that connect to one of the 35 prescribed TOK prompts provided by the IB.
Purpose of the TOK Exhibition
- To demonstrate your understanding of TOK concepts in everyday contexts
- To showcase critical thinking by linking objects to knowledge questions
- To engage creatively with the nature and acquisition of knowledge
How to Prepare for Your TOK Exhibition
1. Choose Your Prompt Carefully
Review the list of 35 prescribed prompts and select one that resonates with your interests and allows meaningful exploration.
2. Select Three Relevant Objects or Images
Pick tangible items or visual materials that clearly connect to your chosen prompt and illustrate different perspectives.
3. Develop Clear Explanations
For each object, explain how it relates to the prompt and what knowledge question it raises.
4. Create an Engaging Presentation
Organize your exhibition logically with coherent explanations for each object. Use visuals and storytelling to engage your audience.
