During Dutch Design Week 2022 three early evening pop-up salons connect a research on human footprints by designer Ineke Hans and DEA alumni Ned Kaar, with curator Annemartine van Kesteren’s online expo 'The Decay Economy' for Museum Boijmans van Beuningen.
How to 'make' a sustainable society, how to learn from the past and how to get grip on rationales such life cycle assessments and footprints calculations? Is that possible at all?
In public conversations atn three different locations, the current and historical changes in our ecological, social and economic footprints are discussed by various stakeholders in the current footprint debates that have been explicitly brought together: Designers & Makers (producers) , Users & Shakers (policymakers & trailblazers).
The conversations are moderated by Ned Kaar, find press info here

The third and final salon looks at the breakdown economy and the challenges facing the world if sustainability goals are not achieved. If we have reached an ecological breaking point, what might exist ahead of us within the fields of design and production? What new systems might we expect to emerge? How might a refocusing upon ideas of health and wellness influence our understanding of present attitudes towards sustainable and regenerative practice?
