By Design and by Disaster 2025 is live. Registration open until April 28. In addition to the details pasted below, I am also speaking!!

My talk is May 8 at 2 p.m. Italian time ;-) or 6 a.m. Pacific.

Keynotes in the track Connected Alternatives will be held by Jesko Fezer (Public Design Consultancy), and by Anna Hilber and Hannes Götsch of BASIS Vinschgau-Venosta. Milano Mediterranea will show and discuss their decolonial participatory actions in the track Social Movements, complemented by Ivan Txaparro of resonar lab and many others.

In the track Open Technology the Platoniq Foundation will present and reflect their tools for digital participatory processes. Andrea Dieck of Deutsche Wohnen & Co Enteignen will talk about organising and campaigning for transferring real estate to common ownership in the track Radical Reforms.

All this will go along with 7×7 talks, 20 hands-on workshops, the presentations of 55 papers and visual essays, shared meals, dancing and whatever we make out of it together. With a lot of people from transformation-engaged study courses, on Saturday we will focus on “How to join forces and mutually support each other? Towards a union of transformation-engaged designers*, interconnected trans-local groups, and whatever it takes !-)”. → more on hope ~ reclaiming the future & the 4 tracks
