We Will Design

We Will Design is a large experimental lab that each year welcomes and promotes projects by designers from around the world, schools, universities, international institutions, and young students.

It’s a year-round journey of residencies and international exchanges, where design practices and experiences become tools to interpret—and sometimes address—the many contradictions of our present.
This year, it explores connections between humans, non-humans, and more-than-humans with the theme Making Kin.
