Description
‘Our task is to make trouble, to stir up potent response to devastating events, as well as to settle troubled waters and rebuild quiet places.’ - Donna Haraway, Staying with the Trouble (2016)
In this workshop we will be making - planning, writing, designing, performing - manifestos for increasingly uncertain futures. The manifesto is a dynamic, urgent, incendiary form, linked to periods of upheaval, destruction, and rebirth. It is frequently used in design as well as in art, architecture, and activism. Visual design is crucial to the manifesto's appeal: manifestos are short and sharp, borrowing from advertising as much as politics and the avant-garde. Manifestos focus on the future, but also on the present. They ask: What is to be done, now?
