What are design rights now? And what could be the right to design? This seminar is part series of investigations with practitioners and scholars from disciplinary fields ranging from design and architecture to anthropology and law that will not only map designs relationships to human rights but begin to imagine alternative framings for how rights could be practiced, be educated, made visible and extended through the discipline of design itself. No pre-registration is required, please note that the number of places is limited. The event is in English.
