Designing for an inclusive & considered future with Grace Jun

Inspiration Is Nothing Without Action/Recorded 2017

A close reading, kept within reach.

The short version

Grace Jun takes design thinking 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 USA in 2017, the conversation is grounded in Grace'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.
