	'''d*sign week''' is a festival for experimental and independent design practices. It is organized by the initiatives [https://potatopublishing.at/ Potato Publishing] and [https://core.servus.at/ servus.at] together with the departments of Visual Communication and Timebased Media of the [https://www.kunstuni-linz.at/ University of Arts Linz].

	The 2025 edition of the d*sign week is organized around the question “For who(m) is the making?”, which sets the attention on who is involved in the design process, as a designer or as an addressee, and how design connects the needs and everyday life of both. A fundamental element of any production requires understanding of the person that is being designed for and awareness on what they necessitate. Likewise, also the context and the practice of the designer have strong influence on the outcome. Even the material and tools play a role in that. As a discursive practice, design interacts with all of this, while following aesthetic and artistic intentions. If “contemporary design” is often experienced as excluding and exclusive, how can we make it more accessible? How do we balance the need for accessibility to the ever evolving language of visual communication?

	Structured as a week-long series of workshops, lectures and conversations, the d*sign week investigates how access, participation and inclusion can be values that guide independent design practices. How can they become a common goal in non-commercial and socially-oriented projects?

	The event wants to be a space for exchange for designers, coders and artists. The programme however tries to open itself up and be accessible for a broader audience. This happens through note-taking and editing, as well as translating in other languages and contexts. The exploration of approaches and tools is the ground for collective learning, reflection in action and knowledge exchange during the festival.

	~~Living in times that require novel forms of being together, the d*sign week proposes asking ourselves “For~~ who(m) is the making?~~” as method to radically open the design flow. This creates spaces for new perspectives, alliances and networks of solidarity.~~
