Post Design Tangle, chapter 3: COMMUNITY

Spanning two years, four locations, and a patchworked, online hub, the Post Design Tangle is a bind that ties together communities across the Nordics and the digital world; it’s an informal circuit of flashing cables and intimate, in-person conversations.

The third chapter, COMMUNITY, will take place from 14–15 April 2023 at HUSET-KBH in central Copenhagen, Denmark, bringing together six remarkable design thinkers, makers and doers.

Design is never autonomous, created by porous bodies it affects and is affected by the communities we are in. Making takes many hands and minds, and forms of labor beyond the creative. What can we learn from collective design practices, cooperative business models, and strategies of interspecific “co-creation”? Together we will look at how this might help us move beyond narrow narratives of single human authorship and reframe our ideas of what community entails.

The third chapter of the Post Design Tangle is hosted by HUSET-KBH.

Thanks to our local supporters: HK grafisk kommunikation, Design denmark and FAOD. The digital event is sponsored by Dir. Michael Hermann Nielsens mindelegat, afd. B.
