Design Culture is a curated exhibition that explores the impact of culture through design and will present the art of creativity, innovation and craftsmanship by showcasing object pieces, art and product design from around the world.

This curated exhibition investigates how culture influences design. With works from independent designers, artists, and Kingston University graduates, the show will feature everything from statement pieces to finely crafted products - all reflecting the power of design to transform space. Highlights include: • Artist Ben Cullen Williams presents "Self Portrait" at Design London Shoreditch (September 16-18, 2025) in collaboration with Google Deepmind and Google Arts & Culture Lab. This new commission explores self-portraiture through advanced generative AI models, with the AI model creating a 'self portrait' of itself through a collaboration between artist and machine with the help of Google's AI generation tools, Veo, Gemini and Imagen. The model will be fine-tuned with his archive of his own photographs, imbuing the AI-generated outputs with his way of capturing the world. The work, emphasizing the creative process, will be experienced as an online platform and a physical audio-video installation. • British Council – "Ancient Futures” at Design Culture: The British Council presents this initiative at Design Culture exploring the intersection of past traditions and future possibilities through artistic and cultural collaborations. This project focuses on themes of ancestry, ecology, and sustainable futures. • Moleskine workshops at Design Culture: Moleskine, renowned for its iconic notebooks, invites visitors to rediscover the power of handwriting and drawing as profound catalysts for thought and creativity. Through a series of experiential workshops led by creative minds, the space will be transformed into a blank page where participants can leave their personal mark and share their talent.
