22 Hurra Hurra x Vera Sacchetti

Design as a tool for transition: Which responsibilities should
designers be aware of when it comes to shaping possible futures?
Which methodologies in design processes can bring systemic change
or transformation and what kind of perspectives offers design
education in this context? Christian Zöllner and design critic and
curator Vera Sacchetti talk about the role of design disciplines in
change as well as about acknowledging and questioning privileged
designerism and solutionist approaches. #designeducation
