UNDERCURRENTS

Join us while we dive into discussions to unravel the things overlooked and forgotten...

UNRAVEL

Design is an expedition into the sea of everyday lives. We sail across it in different directions to find answers. But, this time, we change directions, take the plunge and discover what’s underneath the surface.
Our theme, ‘Undercurrents‘ looks into the implicit aspects of design to reconnect with our roots and strengthen the foundations of design. We are celebrating the stories of design that have more than what meets the eye and the designs of the past that are lost in the present.

UNHEARD

... listening to the echoes of design on the environment that go unheard...

UNCHARTED

... shifting the spotlight from larger establishments to small uncharted businesses.
In this expedition, we look at the impact of design in a context larger than the product. Explore and appreciate design to create a more equitable and sustainable world.

Is it (still) ok to be a graphic designer?
Influenced as much by feminism as Swiss typography, Lucienne will share her graphic design journey from utopian zeal to dystopian dilemma. She has always considered graphic design to be a political act. In the early days this message was greeted with incredulity but when her book Good: An Introduction to Ethics in Graphic Design hit the streets the subject was inching onto the agenda.
