This Crater of Opacity is a capsule exhibition system addressing design as a relational and ceremonial practice. Using a co-designed totemic device for the presentation, the exhibition will feature selected projects originating in the ecosystem of Eina school of Design and Art, Barcelona. Following the tradition of Iberian pedagogic shrines, it attempts to be a lens for observing the emergence of future social forms based on shared intimacy and affect.

We Will Design 2026 — HELLO, DARKNESS embraces design as a tool for subverting hierarchies and weaving together ecologies and technologies to imagine the cities and societies of the future.
It is an invitation to recognize the abyss — political, ecological, aesthetic — we’re living in, not as a place of fear, but as a space of regeneration, resistance, and imagination. Darkness here is not absence, but a fertile condition that embraces invisible gestures, marginalized knowledge, and luminous forms of resistance.
