'THE END OF DESIGN ... AS WE KNOW IT;)'

A speculative talk on daydreaming, discomfort and togetherness.

‘The End of Design … as we know it ;)’ zooms into what it means to daydream about the end of this world. Who creates, designs, dismantles or provides us with a language for alternative forms of solidarity when the worlds falls apart in a thousand pieces every day? Who still needs design then? This informal lecture highlights, through these questions, the everyday histories, stories and strategies that feed us with wayward ideas and practices about the world that one wants to inhabit.
