With Dilemmas From the Future

Join Minami’s online workshop based on the book she wrote: “With Dilemmas From the Future – What can graphic designers do in the era of climate crisis?”. In the first half of the workshop, you will hear her talk about the relationship between graphic design and hyper-consumerism and her personal story of becoming a designer while concerned about climate change. In the second half, Minami will share inspirational insights from the interviews she conducted in the book. You will take part in interactive activities and exercises to think about good practices and what graphic designers can do. The exercises will be mostly individual work, but you will be able to share thoughts and results with the rest of the group.
