Victor Papanek: The Politics of Design at C-mine

Can design make the difference? According to designer and activist Victor J. Papanek (1923 – 1998) this was not a question but a necessity. His book “Design for the Real World: Human Ecology and Social Design” was published in 1970 but is hyper-topical fifty years later. He argues for design for the “real world”, which offers an answer to social equality, inclusiveness and sustainability. The expo is more than a retrospective of Papanek’s life and work. In the visually attractive exhibition you will also discover many examples of young, contemporary social designers.
