Good Interventions is an economic and strategic design exhibition that aims at bringing together new and exciting work of designers who approach economies, societies and politics in new ways.
What does the notion of ‘making to think’ encapsulate? How can design serve as a means of comprehending our world? In which ways can we articulate or reimagine our environments with design interventions? The Good Interventions Exhibition’23, building upon the foundations of the inaugural competition and exhibition in 2022 amalgamates the strengths of design and social sciences to tackle questions of power.
Emerging from a pool of 62 design projects, crafted by over 100 designers from 22 design schools and universities across 9 countries, the exhibition’s 15 showcased ‘Good Interventions’ all share a common characteristic: the application of design, arts, and social sciences in concert to address the pressing issues of our era. Winner projects are from designers from Harvard (Cambridge, US), Parsons, (NYC, US), RMIT (Melbourne, Australia), Aalto (Helsinki, Finland), RCA (London, US), ICL (London, UK), University of Arts (London, US), The Oslo School of Architecture and Design (Oslo, Norway), NYU (NYC. US), Sheffield Hallam University (Sheffield, UK), University of Chester (Chester, UK), Institute of Design (Chicago, US). They all give a hand that opens a door to new thinking about economies. Over the subsequent three years, a rotating team of curators will continue to select and amalgamate 15 new projects annually. In 2027, a culminating exhibition will be held featuring the final 15 of the 65 ‘Good Interventions’, collectively showcased through a curated book and large-scale exhibition.
What does it mean to make to think? In what ways can design be used as a tool to make sense of the world? How can we describe or reimage our worlds by using design interventions? Good Interventions Exhibition aims at addressing these questions by bringing together the powers of design and social sciences to address questions of power.
