KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
DESIGN EDUCATION AND PREFIGURATIVE (WORK) POLITICS
BRAVE NEW ALPS
Despite the ubiquitousness for designers of low pay, long hours and no or little social protection, working conditions are rarely discussed within design schools. But couldn’t design education become a space to enact a prefigurative politics or the collective reshaping of our working lives?
EDUCATING FOR AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE
MAT HEINL (Moving Brands) & DEREK YATES (WINCHESTER SCHOOL OF ART) IN CONVERSATION
Derek Yates and Mat Heinl discuss the benefits of open ended, prototype driven, collaborative enquiry and why embracing failure could be the real key to survival for today’s creative graduates.
LEARNING WITH INDUSTRY
DARRYL CLIFTON, TRACEY WALLER (CAMBERWELL COLLEGE OF ARTS) & ROBERT SOLLIS (Europa)
This presentation will look at how industry and education co-exist and learn from each other In and around the BA (Hons) Graphic Design course at Camberwell College of Arts. Looking at case studies and a discussion on the course philosophy it will explore and challenge the relationship that education has with the graphic design profession.
