Design and local communities – is design for ‘locals’?

Discussion with Lubomiła Trojan (Zamek Cieszyn), Bogna Polańska (proprietor, Pracownia broKat), Magdalena Zych (Ethnographic Museum in Krakow)

Design for everyone. A cycle of lectures and talks on design.

The aim of this cycle of meetings accompanying the exhibition ‘The logic of the local. Contemporary Norwegian and Polish design’ is to familiarise the general public with issues connected with contemporary design. During these discussions and lectures we will be looking at ideas such as slow design, eco-design, design activism, the design market in Poland, design education, and various ways of drawing on local tradition. Our invited guests will include both design theoreticians and active designers from a range of centres including Kraków, Kielce and Katowice.
