Description
A live recording of How women might move design forward and engender social change through creative practice, a panel discussion recorded at the Royal College of Art in London on 19 September 2024. The panel was part of Design Stories London, a collaboration between London’s Royal College of Art and Warsaw’s SWPS University, supported by the British Council and Polish Cultural Institute London. It was hosted by Disegno's editor-in-chief Oli Stratford, and featured Alicja Bielawska, a visual artist and assistant professor at SWPS; Ewa Klekot, a professor of anthropologist with SWPS; Joyce Yee, a Professor of Design and Social Innovation at Northumbria School of Design; and Teal Triggs, a professor, historian and writer around graphic design at the Royal College of Art. This event served as a springboard for the upcoming edition of Design Stories Warsaw, scheduled for November 2025 as part of the UK/Poland Cultural Season 2025. The Warsaw edition will be part of the British Council's cultural exchange program between the UK and Poland. Design Stories is also a part of the wider Looking Through Objects project, including a touring exhibition, lecture series, talks and interviews organised in different locations across Poland, UK, Belgium and the Baltic states. This project is a collaboration between the Royal College of Art and SWPS University. It is supported by the British Council. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
