THE MUSIC IS THE MAKING OF THE MUSIC – An ongoing conversation about a design practice grounded in co-existence
.
Thrilled to announce that
@dimitrireist is one of the winners of the category "Design Research" at the Swiss Design Awards 2023. . In his ongoing research Dimitri is interested in a shift of conversations about design away from form, to a more process oriented, and more sustainable one. One that takes the political and social responsibility we carry as graphic designers seriously. . How can one as a graphic designer, shift and relearn understandings of visual knowledge towards the social political context each of us is living in? And can this eventually lead to a more inclusive, co-existing, community-based and social-political reflective praxis? . He started exchanging with peers with different backgrounds about the conditions in which they create work, and how these circumstances shape their daily practice, their methodologies, their ideas, and how in the end these are materialized in their visual language. . The project has become an ongoing conversation, in which Dimitri wants to build a practice of care and knowledge-sharing that helps each other understand how we can partake in a meaningful change, by challenging the dominant western idea of design. Creating a space for pleasure in co-existence.
