Queer(ing) Design: Athens Edition

How can design be challenged, and reimagined to create futures that are wilder, freer, and more just?

As part of the global launch of Queer Design Club, with events in New York, Berlin, and now Athens, this gathering marks the beginning of building a local queer design community here in Greece. Together, we’ll explore what it means to approach design through a queer lens: questioning the “normal", redistributing power and blurring binaries.

Across this 3-hour event, participants will get an introduction to queer theory, how it relates to design and take part in a hands-on workshop that shows how to apply a queer lens directly to design projects. It will also be a space to connect with others who want to infuse queer thinking into their creative practice.

“Queerness is not yet here. Queerness is an ideality. We are not yet queer, but we can feel it as the warm illumination of a horizon imbued with potentiality.”
— José Esteban Muñoz, Cruising Utopia

Join us as we launch Queer Design Club and link Athens with New York and Berlin, growing a queer design community that boldly reimagines horizons and expands what futures can be.
