About Event

Have you noticed, at some point in the last five years, a specific kind of professional vertigo? Something shifted in the design profession, and most of us are still working out what to call it.

This event is for designers who recognize that what they are experiencing is not a personal failure of vision or a problem of insufficient adaptation.

The event is not a survey of grievances. It is rather an argument about exploring the work ahead, collectively.

Agenda

  • 16:30 - Doors open

  • 17:00 - Welcome words

  • 17:15 - A framing of the current condition

  • 17:45 - Break

  • 18:00 - Co-design session (roundtable discussions)

  • 18:45 - Group summaries

  • 19:00 - Mingling


Session takeaways

  1. What did "return to craft" really mean?

  2. What happened to design's legitimacy project in the last 10 years?

  3. How do we collectively reconstruct a path forward?

We will create together cartographies for finding ourselves in the moment
