“Sydney Design Week celebrates designers who are defining the cultural moment in Sydney and around the world. This year’s theme ‘Making Now’ expands the parameters of ‘design’ to explore myriad expressions across disciplines and industries. The program will set the scene for the future of design.” – Stephen Todd, Sydney Design Week Creative Director.
Exhibitions, talks, film screenings, workshops, collaborative projects, and tours presented across Sydney design hubs between 15 and 22 September 2022 will shine a light on the knowledge, ideas, and talent of local, national, and international designers, the role of design, and the extraordinary scope of innovation it can deliver.
