Symposium with Andreas Bernard, Gui Bonsiepe, Lilet Breddels, Heinz Bude, Bureau d’Etudes, John Grin, Boris Groys, Dorothea Hauser, Reinhold Martin, Henk Oosterling, Philipp Oswalt, Planbude Hamburg, Birger Priddat, Christian Salewski, Tomás Saraceno, Bernd Scherer, Lara Schrijver, Luigi Snozzi, Wolfgang Ullrich, Margarete Vöhringer, Karin Wilhelm, Zones Urbaines Sensibles a.o. Can design change society? How can we integrate emancipating ideas into a continuously progressing modernization? Has the aspiration of the Bauhaus and the classical avant-garde to positively change society through design been validated? By what means can we approach design change and the future in a new way today? What are targeted, but open-ended work forms? What role does co-production play? How does one design one’s own existence? What is the role of the designer? Would the absence of design offer liberation? Exhibition: A pop-up exhibition in the Haus der Kulturen der Welt presents projects that exemplify the topic – from both historical and contemporary perspectives. This lounge-like installation in the foyer complements the conventional symposium format and allows for an open-ended reception – a supplementary, ampliative or also alternative engagement with the question, “Can design change society?”. Admission free. The symposium and the pop-up exhibition place valid positions in the context of historical models and present them for discussion. At the center of such discussions are the goals, roles, design methods, and the social processes in which designers are embroiled. All lectures are simultaneously translated into English–German / German–English Ticket prices: 1 day: 18 Euro / 10 Euro (reduced) // 2 days: 34 Euro / 18 Euro (reduced) // Single ticket panels: 10 Euro / 7 Euro (reduced) Tickets can be purchased via phone at +49 (0) 30-397-871-75 or online at www.hkw.de/tickets.
