ENCOUNTER. Dialogues 2022: Activism, Attitude, Action

A meeting place in which the EASD València promotes open conversation around design culture and its changing socio-cultural context. This interdisciplinary event, which includes conferences, exhibitions and various academic activities.

Activism, Attitude, Action…

In a post-covid scenario, the urgency of a change in the socio-cultural paradigm has accelerated, in which design must expand its framework of action. As stated by Oscar Guayabero (Barcelona 1968) “the design of the future has to go from being a means to being a mediator”. The present is uncertain and the future indeterminate.

Under the title Activism, Attitude, Action, Dialogues 2022 seeks to exchange experiences, visions and attitudes from the culture of design that value the potential of design as a tool for social transformation, which allows redrawing a more hopeful future.

Following this thematic axis, we will have the critical vision of contemporary culture by Remedios Zafra, the divergent analysis of reality to condition the future by Elisabet Roselló (Postfuturear), the enhancement of “Design as an attitude” by Alice Rawsthorn, the gender activism of Yolanda Domínguez, the social documentary of Ivo&Ana, and the experiences and examples of attitude, activism and action of various designers and creators.
