Inspiration Is Nothing Without Action/Recorded 2017

A close reading, kept within reach.

The short version

Carina Bonse takes information 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 South Africa in 2017, the conversation is grounded in Carina'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.

People are concerned about what they put in their bodies, yet don’t know the effect that wastewater can have on their health.”
