The exhibition exposes how DI experiences and practices unfold into modes of design thought and design action. This call invites your participation in gatherings, remote and in situ collaborations, for projects, exhibitions, publications, and presentations to generate new work and ideas around DesignInquiry’s thirteen years of topics.
Please indicate your interest in participating in the DesignInquiry FUTURESPECTIVE exhibition & events by filling out the Futurespective Prospective form.
