@Kulturverein zur Schießhalle, Stadtwerkstatt, University of Arts Linz
d*sign week 2025
The d*sign week is a festival for experimental and independent design practices.
It is organized by the initiatives Potato Publishing and servus.at
together with the departments of Visual Communication and Timebased Media of the
University of Arts Linz.
Living in times that require novel forms of being together, the d*sign week proposes asking
ourselves “For who(m) is the making?” as a method to radically open the design flow.
This creates spaces for new perspectives, alliances and networks of solidarity.
Structure and Goals
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 opens
itself up and aims to be accessible for a broader audience—through note-taking, editing and
translations across languages and contexts. The exploration of approaches and tools is the ground for
collective learning, reflection-in-action and knowledge exchange during the festival.
For who(m) is the making?
The 2025 edition of the d*sign week is organized around the question
“For who(m) is the making?”, which sets attention on who is involved in the design process and how design connects needs and everyday life. Understanding for whom we design, and the context and practice of the designer, has strong influence on outcomes.
Even materials and tools play a role. As a discursive practice, design interacts with 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 with the ever-evolving language of visual communication?
