THE GOOD NEWSMore and more designers want to critically and transformatively engage with pressing social and environmental issues.
THE BAD NEWSDesign for progressive eco-social change generally doesn’t pay much, despite the fact that lots of it would be needed.
HOW CAN WE CREATE ECONOMIC CULTURES THAT MAKE TRANSFORMATIVE WORK POSSIBLE?
By collectively activating our skills & resources;
in the short as well as in the long-run;
for as many designers as possible.

IF WE WORK, WHERE WE WORK, WITH WHOM WE WORK, WHAT WE DO ATWORK, AND HOW LONG WE WORK ARE SOCIAL ARRANGEMENTS AND HENCE PROPERLY POLITICAL DECISIONS.
HOW MIGHT MORE OF THIS TERRITORY BE RECLAIMED AS VIABLE TERRAINS OF DEBATE AND STRUGGLE?”
