Domus Academy / BASE Milano (2017)

I shared the stage with award winning design critic and New York Times contributor Alice Rawsthorn; architect and urban planner Stefano Boeri; and designers Matylda Krzykowski and Jing He in a discussion that challenged perceptions and showcased ideas on the past, current and future sustainability of the topic of 'local' in design.

 

Design in the Middle Workshop
by School of Redesign
MAXXI Museum, Rome (2017)

I worked with designers, architects and creatives from Middle East to generate future scenarios that can solve certain challenges in the Middle East through design. I coordinated the Nomadentity group that addressed challenges such as open borders, immigration, dignity and identity, self-respect, self-identification.
Speaker, as part of an international panel of designers, at the public event that officially closed the workshop.
More details about the workshop are available here.

 
 

VPRO Tegenlicht Meetup In Search for Europe, Amsterdam (2016)
I joined the discussion on how the future of our European societies can be shaped from the perspective of the individual visionaries or/and the collective, institutionalised approach.
