PLAYING FOOLS AND ENGAGING IDIOTS:
The function of Speculative Critical Design
Speculative Critical Design moves away from traditional approaches that limit design’s role to the production of profitable objects, focusing instead on a practice that is interrogative, discursive and experimental. This talk will offer an introduction to the practice and question how a form of design that is focused on asking questions might function to provide answers in an age of political uncertainty, austerity and ecological crisis.

This talk will be held in English!
