Dutch Artistic Research Event #2 (D.A.R.E.)
Symposium

The Politics of Design

Friday 7 September 2007
10.00 – 18.00

What is the role of design/designers with respect to the problems and issues that we face in the world today? This may relate to issues surrounding ecology, globalisation, consumerism, the gap between the Western world and the developing world etc, or other social or political standpoints.In view of these kinds of issues that are currently being addressed in the design field, as well as in the world at large, the participants are asked: How would you define your role as a designer? Do you see design as being able to play a role in solving important (environmental, social, political) problems in the world? Does a designer have to deal both with an artistic and a social responsibility, and how would you define that responsibility? In what way does your own work meet these demands?
