DESIGN AFTER DESIGN is a one-day festival of talks and open conversations, that invites you to question, critique, and reimagine the design lifecycle: from BEFORE (the research, histories, and conditions that shape how things begin), through DURING (the processes, power dynamics, and decisions embedded in making), to AFTER (the systems, consequences, and lived realities that unfold long after launch).
The festival aims to bring together designers, researchers, educators and thinkers who are exploring alternative futures and critiquing the design industry itself. DESIGN AFTER DESIGN is hosted by IMPACT FESTIVAL at Trifolium.
