The Distributed Design community works on a variety of issues to achieve a better tomorrow. All makers, thinkers, and designers have realised that many problems are deeply interconnected. Whether it’s plastic pollution in Kenya or the housing crisis in the Netherlands. This means that the solutions we need should also be interconnected. We need a society that is regenerative from the outset—one that promotes sustainability, resilience and well-being within environmental and social limits. To achieve this, we must not only think, talk, and act differently but also design new systems. In this programme we will meet six designers that create within social and ecological boundaries. Through their new concepts, methods, and materials, they are working to create a better future. They are not doing this alone but are collaborating with their own networks and new communities. Are you curious? Come and join us!
