Curatorial director for 2021 is Wava Carpenter, a curator with a special focus on design for the greater good, both through her work and with Anava Projects, a curatorial agency which she founded with Anna Carnick in 2019.will highlight designers and practitioners working towards a more equitable, interconnected future through cutting-edge design thinking, ideas, conversations and the future, explored through special projects by participating galleries.
‘The practice of design, at its heart, has always aimed to create a better future,’ says Carpenter as she introduces this year’s theme. ‘In recent years, as the global challenges that humanity faces have approached existential proportions, the future that designers envision increasingly demands a fundamental reorientation of what it means to be human in this world, calling on all of us to become better stewards of nature and of each other.
Titled ‘Tomorrow Land’, it features colourful shapes by Studio Proba that aim at transforming the area into ‘an interactive playground’, serving as sculptures and seating arrangements. The physical installation then comes to life virtually through the work of Enjoy the Weather, with a dedicated app that allows visitors to play with the shapes throughout the neighbourhood.
Adds Studio Proba founder Alex Proba: ‘The project is not only huge for us in terms of colour and scale of our art, but especially important, as it is interactive and will get people outside, moving around the city, and contributing to a better tomorrow.’
