Created to fill a gap in our cultural landscape, this six-part series presents a brief history of design for people who haven’t studied design in the formal education system, but who are keen to better understand historical and contemporary design culture.
Design101 will traverse all the disciplines of design, from product, furniture, graphics, decorative arts and craft, architecture, textiles and interiors and industrial design. In true ‘Design 101’ form, each week participants will be given reading lists and other resources for further reading and research.
Presentations will be hosted by Kathryn Hunyor (Director, ArtsPeople) who has worked in consultation with ADC CEO and Artistic Director Lisa Cahill and the team at Australian Design Centre to curate this special series. Kathryn will introduce each guest lecturer and host a conversation with the presenter and audience following the lecture. Each week an Australian designer will join the conversation to talk about the influences of design history on their own work.
A glass of wine, sparkling water, snacks and all materials are included in the ticket price.
