Design ActSocially and Politically Engaged Design Today – Critical Roles and Emerging Tactics

 - Design Act
A project that presents and discusses contemporary design practices that engage with political and societal issues.
Since 2009, the Iaspis project Design Act has been highlighting and discussing practices in which designers have been engaging critically as well as practically in such issues. Itself an example of applied critical thinking and experimental tactics, the process behind the Design Act project is considered as a curatorial, participatory and open-ended activity. Design Act has developed through an online archive, public events, and an international network.
