London Design Biennale 2023 | Talks

This discussion will look at how cross-sector collaboration can overcome challenges of temporary events, bringing together speakers including the director and artistic director of LDB23.

Can Biennales positively impact both the create and non-creative industries? How can these events and design-led thinking foster new local, national and global collaboration strategies in order to tackle our most pressing issues?

Moderator

Aric Chen, General and Artistic Director, Nieuwe Instituut

The constant flux and innovation of aesthetics has become a fundamental dynamic in our society, driving change and transformation. The New European Bauhaus explores these transformational qualities of aesthetics to tackle current societal and ecological challenges, and discuss the roles, expertise and resources that the arts and design have to offer. How can the New European Bauhaus foster creative acts and artistic ways to relate to the world? How can we contest the affirmative notion of beauty? How can we enhance beauty agency and beauty literacy? How can we turn beauty into a public good?
