Presented by Craft ACT: Craft + Design Centre, DESIGN Canberra 2022 presents an expansive program featuring more than 200 events: talks, tours, exhibitions, public art installations, workshops, and symposiums across the nation’s capital from 2 to 20 November.
This year’s festival explores the theme of ‘Transformation’, inviting audiences to speculate on how we might transform our city, our community, and our world through design and creative practice. Highlights include keynote speeches by authors Elizabeth Farrelly and Tony Fry as well as by artists Blanche Tilden and Tom Moore; an exhibition celebrating contemporary Italian design; open studio access to more than seventy-seven Canberra-based artists and designers; public art installations; architecture talks and tours; hands-on “nurture” making workshops; and a Bauhaus influenced exhibition of light works.
