About [Edit]

We are part of a growing number of design professionals, design students, and design thinkers who are committed to promoting design as a tool for social change, and who see in the design discipline a far broader role to play than that of a silent accomplice to market strategies, brand enhancement, consumption and the normalization of social and cultural values.

As designers and uppermost as citizens, we witness the rising tautness in the current economic, politic and environmental situation. In our jobs, and in our lives, we long to do more. Particularly as designers, we intuit our strategic placing in the larger capitalist logic we work with/for (some against, or about - but one would have to agree there is always some degree of relation) should grant us great opportunities to bring about positive change. Are we seizing that momentum?

All this, is about social engagement, and that can only happen through critical observation and thinking. This blog aims to be a space for just that."

This blog is a place to ask questions, debate the multitude of answers, and bring completely new perspectives to the table.
