Välkommen på vernissage – möt urbanforskarnas Malmö
Välkommen på vernissage på Form Design Center 13 nov kl 17-19!
Möt urbanforskarnas Malmö i en utställning om hur
staden kan undersökas, ifrågasättas och utmanas.
Staden är en konstruktion, en anhopning av nätverk,
strukturer och system vi alla är en del av att skapa
och upprätthålla.
STADEN STUDERAD presenterar Malmö utifrån
några aktuella forskningsprojekt, och vill uppmana
besökaren att se staden med forskarens ögon – att
försöka avkoda vad den berättar om vår tid och om
oss själva.
Utställningen har tagits fram med stöd av FORMAS, RAÄ, ISU och
EU/InterReg IVA och i samarbete mellan Mah, SLU och FormDesignCenter
Forskningskurator: Tekn Dr Karin Grundström
Utställningskuratorer: Testbedstudio arkitekter
Projektledare Form/Design Center: Johanna Sjögren Duthy

Welcome to the Making Futures book release November 25
”The long-awaited book Making Futures has finally hit the shelves. It is composed of stories that challenge the perception of what ‘counts’ as successful innovation. The stories form a wide and multi-faceted view of how it is possible to work with design and innovation beyond the search for a ‘killer app’. It reveals how design and innovation actually can start in people’s everyday activities.”
On Tuesday November 25, you are invited to join a discussion based on themes and examples from the book, which range from a collective of immigrant women who perform collaborative services (theme: designing conditions for the social) to the development of an open-hardware movement (theme: open production – design and commons) – from grassroots journalism (theme: creative class struggles and cultural production) to hip-hop performances on city buses (theme: emerging publics).
What: Book release: Making Futures
When: Tue Nov 25, at 9-11 (breakfast included).
Where: Medea, Östra Varvsg. 11 A (map)
Language: English
Whom: everyone, but please sign up!
