African Design/2017/22 min/Reel № 17.001
ByRobin Rhode
Multidisciplinary artist Robin Rhode brings his drawing process to life
Inspiration Is Nothing Without Action/Recorded 2017
A close reading, kept within reach.
Robin Rhode 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 Germany in 2017, the conversation is grounded in Robin'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 South African born artist and his “doppelgänger” light up the Design Indaba stage.
