Additional Information

Design After Design is a series of five essays that interrogate design not just as a discipline, but as a site of tension, between intention and impact, aesthetics and ethics, creation and consequence.

Travelling from Romania, to under our laptops, across Indonesia, through social movement ecologies, and into the future, the series platforms imaginative and productive critical writing for a changing design world.

Proudly presenting the five essayists: Veronika Valtonen, Ana Elena Chiță, Andriew Budiman, Gemma Copeland and Sara Kaaman.
