Design Feminisms Research Group Exhibit: Day of Happenings
24 Nov 2022
Gallery North
Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
This is the first exhibition from the Design Feminisms Research Group (DFRG) which is made up of early career academics across disciplines in the design school at Northumbria University as well as PhD students with interdisciplinary backgrounds.
We start from an understanding that design is, and has always been, plural. Design has many origin stories reflecting multiple and sometimes contradictory ways of being found both within Western and Global Majority societies. The Design Feminisms exhibition uses this grounding as a basis to explore feminisms with, through, and for design. We are interested in how feminist theory and practice relates to design, in all its iterations, that explore feminist design praxis as process rather than outcome – building solidarity by exhibiting together.
Design Feminisms is the fourth exhibition in Gallery North’s Autumn season of exhibitions curated around the theme of Constructions.
