In a world where interdisciplinarity is increasingly encouraged in practice and in being, how do we traverse complex frontiers through design?
Meet thinkers, doers and boundary-shifters who are owning 'intersections' in their everyday—human/more than human; digital/analogue; Technology/Craft; Language/Discourse—recoding a pluralistic language in design that strives to bridge people, planet and pedagogy. With thanks to our Curatorial Partner STIR.
