The Design & the Deep Future Research Group presents the sixth edition of Fault Lines, the annual forum where we share and discuss, with the KABK learning and research community, research projects developed in the Deep Futures Research Group.
Each year the KABK Deep Futures Research Group hosts a day of sharing and exchange based on our current research projects.
Chaired by Design Lector, Alice Twemlow, the Group is made up of KABK tutors or staff, whose research practices engage with the central theme of the Design Lectorate — making, teaching and researching art and design in the context of climate catastrophe, planetary degradation and the loss of biodiversity.
To help frame and contextualise our work, we will be joined by six special guest speaker-respondents. Each will present their own ways of doing research and provide critical feedback to the Group member researchers.
The presentations centre the processes, methods, questions, and theoretical concepts that fuel the research and are therefore accessible to anyone interested in conducting research through practice. Everyone is welcome to attend all or part of the conference—students, staff, workshop instructors, coordinators, heads, tutors, friends!
Admission is free; reserve your seat in advance sending an email to lectoratedesign@kabk.nl
