Expert talk
'Pausing, reflecting and correcting course'
It's time to pause, reflect and course correct. As designers, we are usually confident of our ability to fix problems and advance out species towards progress. Yet, do we fully understand the impact of our work and the frameworks that subconsciously enslave us? As we approach an unimaginable planetary crisis, is it time to rethink the role of designers in the 21st Century.
Can designers really save the world? In this interactive session, we'll take the time to collectively and critically challenge some of the key fallacies that shape the narrative of a modern-day designer: questioning oppressive structures, breaking away from them, and rebuilding the narrative from the ground up.
