Inspiration Is Nothing Without Action/Recorded 2017
A close reading, kept within reach.
Great Things to People (gt2P) takes african design as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Chile in 2017, the conversation is grounded in Great's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
An unexpected link emerges between the Chilean design group and the South African ceramicist.
