Baltan Laboratories

A session on situated design and socially engaged art, critically examining their role in political, societal and environmental challenges.

Natlab

PROGRAM:On October 27, during Dutch Design Week, Baltan Laboratories organizes the Raise Your Voice symposium at Natlab. A refreshing morning session on situated design and socially engaged art, critically examining their role in political, societal and environmental challenges. How can designers position themselves amidst such complex topics? Guest lectures and presentations from the Raise Your Voice participants confront us with knowledges, stories, methodologies, and practices that challenge our society’s foundations and are rooted in indisciplinarity, complexity, embodied and indigenous wisdom. For if we want to act differently, we will need a different understanding of ourselves. * A coffee + croissant is in the ticket included. 🪂 Meet the Speakers 🪂Victoria McKenzie is an academic-activist, educator and artist.
