“Klimakrisen og den indre skaberkraft”

Kristina May og Mads Kjøller Damkjær (stifter af kulturinstitutionen Cultivate Today) er aftenens værter i denne første af to episoder omhandlende kunst og klima. Sammen med vores gæster Anders Morgenthaler og Amanda Betz udforskes, om klimakrisen gør noget ved den indre skaberkraft. Podcasten er optaget med et “live” publikum i Charlie Tangos skønne lokaler på Østerbro og støtte af Statens Kunstfond.

Hvordan påvirker klimaforandringer kunstneres og designeres kreative processer, materialevalg, og bæredygtige beslutninger? Er der en konflikt mellem kreativitet og bæredygtighed? Anders Morgenthaler udforsker de miljømæssige udfordringer ved produktion af merchandise og jagten på bæredygtige løsninger, mens Amanda Betz fokuserer på materialernes miljøpåvirkning og bæredygtighed i papirindustrien. Sammen diskuterer de, hvordan designere og kunstnere kan skabe meningsfulde og bæredygtige løsninger.

Dette afsnit markerer starten på vores nye specialserie, Tæt på, hvor vi udforsker essensen af det at være designer – det kreative, det menneskelige, følelserne, usikkerheden og alt det, der følger med. I denne første episode deler værterne Kristina May og Tobias Røder deres personlige perspektiver på livet som designer. Kristina og Tobias taler om tvivlens rolle i den kreative proces, glæden ved at skabe og de refleksioner og udfordringer, der præger faget.

Tæt på er en serie udviklet med Tobias Røder med visionen om at vise en mere ærlig side af designverdenen. Her er der plads til at dykke ned i det komplekse ved kreativt arbejde og finde styrke i både passionen og tvivlen. “Design Kan - Tæt på”  tager dig med bag glossy-facaden, hvor mennesket og den kreative proces er i fokus. Et autentisk og dybdegående indblik i designverdenen og i de mennesker, der driver den frem.

Design Can Dream - Portrait Francisco Gomez Paz

Francisco Gomez Paz's childhood dream was to invent things. As a dyslexic, he struggled at school and therefore decided to enter the "world of objects"; a personal space where he could let his imagination run free. Little did he know that he would become a renowned designer, known and recognised for his experimental approach and his commitment and willingness to explore new materials and technologies. Joined by our host Kristina May, Francisco tells us how he got into design and reflects on what the future might hold for us all.

Velkommen til et særafsnit af Design Kan. I et fire-episode langt samarbejde med Det Kongelige Akademi udforsker vi de krydsende veje mellem forskellige generationer af designere. Hvad sker der, når erfarne mestre i faget mødes med unge, nysgerrige sind og hvordan kan designernes perspektiver, erfaringer og visioner skabe bro mellem fortid og fremtid? 

Gennem samtaler vil vi afdække, hvordan design er en evig kilde til fornyelse og forandring. Sæt dig til rette, lyt med, og lad os udforske, hvordan design ikke blot er et fagområde, men en levende og dynamisk kraft, der bringer generationer sammen i dialog.
