Utrecht Manifest

Utrecht Manifest questionsthe role that industry, cultural field and designers play in a society where consumption and individualism set the tone. Lifestyle, image and profit seem to be the main concern. Utrecht Manifest investigates alternatives for this attitude through exhibitions and theory development: Utrecht Manifest visualises and stimulates the role that design can play in contributing to society through commitment. Sustainability, product quality, and design attitude are important elements raised in the discussions.

The event is over (23-30/10/2005) but you can find inspiring information at the site.
