Trailer: Carla Kreuser on why designing by hand still matters
Make. Change./Recorded 2015

A close reading, kept within reach.
Carla Kreuser takes art & photography 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 2015, the conversation is grounded in Carla'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.
Carla Kreuser pulled herself away from her computer screen and went back to basics, illustrating and binding an entire book by hand.
