Thursday 10 April

How can design challenge biases and disenfranchisement by recognizing the political agency of human and more-than-human bodies? How does using play to question foundational social rituals shift values and redefine togetherness? What we perceive as changeable is shaped by the tools we use—how can we redesign those tools to enable new ways of seeing? Speakers include Miriam Daxl (2024 MA Information Design alumna), and Gabriel Fontana (2018 MA Social Design alumnus, independent designer, and creative director).
