We are looking forward to your contributions!
In the summer semester 2021, designtransfer will continue its activities mainly online in the blog Design & Democracy due to the Covid-19 regulations, among others
· about the historical role and position of design in democracies and in the development of societies
· the current limited situation of discourse in the cultural field and possible public activities
· how we imagine a democratic future together and how design can contribute to it.
All students, teachers, the local and international network and cooperation partners are invited to submit contributions to this thematic field and to expand it – projects, utopias, ideas, visions, observations, analyses, reflections, research, interviews – videos, animations, photos, performances, documentations, graphics, illustrations, products, fashion, architecture, installations…
