A list of exhibitors #ECIS23 Assembly

exhibition

This exhibition shows a broad spectrum of possible forms that design can take to address systemic change: from methods to tools, from data visual sensemaking to experimentation with biomaterials, from speculative futures to VR experiences. Navigating complexity, experimenting with frictions, cultivating vulnerability, fostering risk taking: how do they look when they become form?

Connecting European strategic platforms to the multiverse of cultural and creative sector

A panel on how the actors of cultural and creative sectors contribute to processes of societal transformation – whether its urban, green, and digital. It aims to paint a picture of a European landscape of policy initiatives and funding programs, that at least in writing strive towards similar transformative goals using mission-driven approaches.

It serves to scrutinize how accessible this landscape is for actors in the cultural and creative sectors. A discussion with Driving Urban Transitions, Viable Cities, RISE, and Placemaking Europe led by Formas.
