Announcing the Leeds Festival of Design Activism, 2-4 July 2009.
Needless to say, the triple challenge of global economic recession, peak oil and
climate change make the need to develop and understand forms of design
practice and thinking that are socially and environmentally engaged evermore
important.
This festival is conceived to provide opportunities for design activists in all
fields of creative practice to meet, exchange experiences and research
findings.
Within this, participation is particularly sought for:
Postgraduate Student Colloquium

Practitioner Conference
http://www.designactivism.org/2009/PractitionerConference.htm
and many more events.
The website, www.designactivism.org, will be regularly updated (and, indeed,
redesigned), so please keep visiting it.
