About the exhibition:
Featuring: Atanas Bozdarov, Danica Drago, Lido Pimienta, Patterns Magazine, Team Sagittarius
Design + Community includes five projects by emerging designers, artists and design teams who employ design methodologies to consider the potential of contemporary design practices to encourage human connection. The selected projects explore diverse concepts of empathy, collaboration, history, marginalization, and oppression while considering how together we can navigate hope for the future.
