DESIGN & ACTIVISM Book Trailer

DESIGN (&) ACTIVISM, edited by Tom Bieling, was published as the first title in the book series Design Meanings* (Mimesis Edizioni). In this book trailer, three of the co-authors – Thomas Markussen, Alastair Fuad-Luke, and Cathy Gale – present their concepts on Design as Activism and Activism as Design. "DESIGN (&) ACTIVISM – Perspectives on Design as Activism and Activism as Design" is a book about how the worlds of Design and Activism (could) inspire each other. It focuses on theories and practices related to the role of design in terms of addressing, provoking, and creating political discourse. Starting from traditional forms of protest, visual languages of resistance, to new forms of digital participation, this will help us to better understand the rituals, structures, and meanings of design activism in history and the present, clarifying that design is intrinsically social and supremely political. And it shall help us to derive arguments and examples for the transformative potential of future design (and) activism. The volume contains contributions by the following authors: Alastair Fuad-Luke, Guy Julier, Ann Thorpe, Chantal Mouffe, Gui Bonsiepe, Thomas Markussen, Gavin Grindon, Michael Erlhoff, Anna Feigenbaum, Cathy Gale, Barbara Hoidn, Stephen Duncombe, Steve Lambert, Harald Gruendl, Fernando Luiz Lara, Pierre Smolarski, Tom Bieling, Marcel René Marburger, Maziar Rezai and Mikala Hyldig Dal + more... www.design-activism.org/ Video / Editing / Conception: Kai Hattermann / filetroyal.com @ 2021
