Join the meeting Forma: Draft – Design Curation & Criticism

Design Curation & Criticism
Curatorship and criticism co-create the language of design. They provide context, initiate debate, interpret phenomena, and help identify the industry's development paths. We want the voices of those who have co-created the field of contemporary design to become an essential element of future actions and recommendations.
We invite the following to actively participate in the working meeting:
- Curators of broadly defined design;
- Individuals involved in design criticism, theory, research, and writing.
How to Apply?
To participate in the recruitment process, please send a portfolio of up to 5 slides (in PDF format) to: design@ipk.gov.pl.
