“Design is the ultimate expression of culture” says Gabriella Bennett. “The places we move through, the meals we eat, the homes we inhabit: all have hidden within them a design code full of meaning. In each case, design tells us so much about the country we are in, its national identity and how its people interact.”
Join the award-winning writer and journalist to explore how design is encoded by different cultures internationally with a special line-up of guests, including designers from the DDF exhibition BOOKENDS: Jennifer Gray and Adam Johnston; and writer and journalist Eilidh Akilade.
Inspired by our exhibition BOOKENDS and the book Dundee’s Two Intrepid Ladies, available to buy in our festival shop.
All of our talks are free, with seats available on a first come-first served basis. As this discussion is outwith our standard opening times, we recommend you book your spot here.
