The exhibition ‘𝙀𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨’ explores how contemporary design is radically reinventing the world and our place within it.
Inspired by thinkers such as Bruno Latour and Donna Haraway, it challenges traditional dichotomies: nature versus culture, human versus environment, object versus process. In this era of climate crisis, system exhaustion and social fragmentation, one thing is clear: the traditional human-centred discourse is now obsolete.
Today, designers are increasingly transcending the boundaries between disciplines, materials and scales. By 2025, design will adopt a holistic approach, transcending traditional divisions. The individual is part of a larger whole, the local is part of the global, and context is truly taken into account. Designers no longer design only objects, but also relationships. They create space for what moves, grows, decomposes or defies definition. Collaboration takes precedence over control. Process takes precedence over finality.
How can we develop intertwined practices that break free from fixed values, embrace the in-between and leave room for the ephemeral? Practices steeped in context. In short, how can we design not only for, but also with and through a broader narrative?
