PLAY AS AN ACT OF COLLECTIVE REBELLION 

Play becomes an act of rebellion in times like these, says Cas Holman, one of the most prominent voices in the world of design and creative industries. Play is part of collectivity and a vital way of knowing and understanding our world. This year we will play, stumble, and enjoy one of the first skills we develop in our lives.

RECONNECTING WITH CIRCULARITY

To address climate and social challenges, designers are increasingly turning to ancestral and local knowledge of materials, products, services, and cultural traditions that have sustained circular communities for centuries. We will explore how women are revolutionising the design world from inspiring projects to initiatives in Iztapalapa, Basel, Rhode Island, and London, we highlight unique contributions. With a predominantly female lineup, inclusive workshops, and engaging activities, we celebrate the diversity and profound impact of women in design.

DESIGN FROM THE GROUND

Designing from the ground embodies a concept of horizontality with multiple dimensions. This segment aims to showcase some of the most innovative design proposals that have, over time, shifted paradigms on how design can transform lives, consistently considering our planet in their creative solutions. We have gathered brilliant creative minds who challenge borders, traditional production systems, and design standards, producing impactful and remarkable projects.
