Porky Hefer on turning something negative into something positive
I Am Not a Designer/Recorded 2012
A close reading, kept within reach.
Porky Hefer 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 South Africa in 2012, the conversation is grounded in Porky'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.
Designer and brand interventionist Porky Hefer’s mission is to encourage people to be inspired to get up and change things.
