Marina Willer on why designers should be creating frameworks for accepting political change
Inspiration Is Nothing Without Action/Recorded 2017
A close reading, kept within reach.
Marina Willer takes design activism 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 United Kingdom in 2017, the conversation is grounded in Marina'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.
The partner at Pentagram on Brexit, family, history and the power of design during these changing political times.
