This new series in collaboration with Merve Çağlar is about imagining and creating in a world that has become increasingly obscure. COVID-19 has paralyzed humanity and the future of our planet is grim. Existing inequalities continue to worsen and the socio-political structures that brought us to today are now near collapse. How do you imagine, create, produce, or even function when our future is out of focus. Tune in to Merve Çağlar in conversation with leading artists, designers, architects, and professionals from the creative industry.
In the first episode of Out of Focus, Merve Çağlar and Tom Dixon, OBE discuss the experience of making things for pleasure, explore how design and art can become sustainable by locality, and the role of designers in today’s society.
“Designers also are not just people who make shapes. They are also people who form the words and illustrate them in a way that people can understand the message.” – Tom Dixon
