‘Worlding Papanek: Alumni Taking the Helm' is the first episode of this podcast series based on the event ‘Better design: Talking beyond Papanek’ in collaboration with Design Museum Den Bosch’s exhibition, Victor Papanek: The Politics of Design.
By examining some of the gaps and fragilities into Papanek's thinking, we attempt to project it towards new possible futures with a critical yet constructive view. From a different time and with current tools, we address three key critical elements/gaps of Papanek's approach: feminism, queerism, orientalism. Together with the Design Academy Eindhoven graduates Lydia Hwang, Serina Tarkhanian and Dae Uk Kim, we focus on the notion of otherness and worlding in Papanek’s work, or the lack thereof and think of other futures by taking a closer look at their graduation projects.
