How does design influence how we see women in ideology, politics and society?
Join this session to gain new perspectives around a contemporary issue in México: how design shapes ideology, politics and society. Creating food for thought, industrial designer Kassim Vera from Emerge Mexico, will host a discussion with design critic Alice Rawsthorn and independent curator Jimena Acosta. Using a town hall format, the session will dive deep into design topics such as objects, architecture, spaces and situations, and how this affects the oppression or empowerment of women.
Become part of the lively discussion, revolving around pre-selected visual aids such as images, videos and objects. These will be picked by women from different industries and will be related to patterns of patriarchy and limitations or symbols of empowerment.
