In-person event

Exhibition at Disseny Hub Barcelona from 23 March to 30 April that brings to life the global, human, strategic and transformative vision of design aiming to respond to the great challenges of contemporary society

Challenge, opportunity, emotion, tradition, community, innovation, purpose... Have you ever wondered what design means to you? We invite you to think about this while we share our global, human, strategic and transformative vision of design with you at the “IED Barcelona Manifesto” exhibition.

The exhibition is built around two main axes. On the one hand, the projection of a video embodying the IED Barcelona manifesto, where students explain why, faced with the challenges of humanity, design is always the answer. On the other, a selection of projects also carried out by students who, from different specialties, such as strategic design, fashion design, product design, graphic design and interior design, try to intervene positively in the environment by combining a unique language, common tools, processes and methodologies, with their individual creative universes.

Don’t miss it!
