In Designing Cities for All (DCFA) we dive into the matter of (re)designing inclusive cities. Next to inviting many designers, scientists, experts, educational institutions, and other involved partners to participate- we invited a total of six Fellows to curate part of the programme. After our 2021 Fellows Lyongo Juliana, Dark Matter Labs, and Galit Ariel, we are happy to welcome OneWorld as our first Fellow in 2022! In their DCFA Fellowship, editor-in-chief Seada Nourhussen and publisher John Olivieira will take us on their mission to (re)design journalism, in which we together explore current power structures in the field, and the concept of ‘journalism for justice’.

This event can only be attended physically at our studio. The recordings will be made available later on and can be viewed via dezwijger.nl/terugkijken or via our YouTube channel.

Studio Colorado is founded in 2017 by Nine Fluitsma and Remco Oude Alink. Nine used to work independently, designing mainly books and other printed matters for cultural institutions, while Remco worked at design agency Thonik and teached at ArtEZ University for the arts. Together they create conceptual and cheerful graphic design, with an autonomous attitude. Colorado developed dynamic identities for OneWorld magazine, Dekmantel Festival, Reinwardt Academy and many others. Their work often has a typographic origin with a bold tone of voice.
