About What Design Can Do Live

A day-long festival on design and climate justice. Explore how creative activism can be a powerful tool for disruption—and learn from changemakers who are paving the way. Altering the course of the climate crisis means saving all that we can, while building a new way of life that is regenerative and restorative by design.

What Design Can Do Live takes place at the beautiful Muziekgebouw and features an immersive programme of talks and workshops on design and climate justice. Explore how creative activism can be a powerful tool for disruption—and learn from changemakers who are paving the way. Altering the course of the climate crisis means saving all that we can, while building a new way of life that is regenerative and restorative by design. It also means telling better stories about the world than those who are destroying it, and imagining a future that is more sustainable, equitable and beautiful than the past. The festival explores what this might look like in practice through the lens of two core themes: designing for climate justice and from ancient wisdom to artificial intelligence. In addition to main stage talks, this year’s programme also includes a selection of interactive workshops and a special exhibition celebrating the winners of the Redesign Everything Challenge.
