DESIGN LATITUDES: An exhibition mapping the innovations, influences and
future directions of design studies in the north
Dates: May 12 to June 6, 2015 (Reception: May 21, 7 to 10 pm)
Location: Fine Arts Building Gallery, University of Alberta, Edmonton
(53.53° N), Canada
Deadline for Proposals: 6 February 2015
Website: www.designlatitudes.ca
The Design Latitudes exhibition explores shifts of ‘latitude’ and frontiers
of ‘north’ in relation to our interdisciplinary Design Studies program at
the University of Alberta, which connects design education to research,
practice, industry and community engagement. ‘Latitude’ encompasses both
geographical context as well as breadth of freedom of action or thought.
‘North’ is bordered geographically, framed in opposition, and
conceptualized through a diversity of lenses, experiences and spaces. This
exhibition will reflect on, articulate and critique aspects of design
education by documenting our past, situating our present and envisioning
our future possibilities. Beyond looking at the legacy and prospects of our
own program, we hope that Design Latitudes will generate dialogue and
debate on how to equip designers to meet the needs of communities in the
north and beyond.
We invite submissions from students, graduates, faculty, instructors and
design professionals affiliated with or connected in any way to Design
Studies in Industrial Design and Visual Communication Design at the
University of Alberta.
We are seeking innovative submissions that challenge, conceptualize,
critique, embody, examine, explore, interrogate, propose, reflect on and
reveal a wide array of frameworks for design studies in the ‘north’. We
imagine submissions of student, professional, research and community design
work that could include print, digital, time-based, motion, installation,
interactive, 3D and integrated formats and media. We also welcome work that
aligns to the general call that we have not yet imagined.
