CRITICAL DE?!GN 2022 – DESIGNERS TROUBLEMAKERS

This international symposium and exhibition was the first showcase of critical and engaged design in Slovakia. They talked about design as an advocate of change in media society and brought an up-to-date perspective to critical design, which is still relatively unexplored in Slovakia. They explained critical approaches in design using authorial approaches based on a sincere interest in their surroundings, questioning the established ruts of the profession and critical reflection of society. The exhibition in the Medium Gallery in Bratislava was visited by over 300 visitors over the course of two weeks, the symposium in A4 – Space of contemporary culture by around 50 spectators, guided tours by around 100 art-oriented high school students not only from Bratislava.
