form International: Issue 01

A subject like design deserves to have as many people talking about it as possible. Why? Design is fundamentally connected to being human. Designed things serve as emotional mirrors or practical aids – and they influence ecological as well as social contexts.

Among them are essays, features, and photographic works that bring an important perspective to design.  From decolonisation to feminist or queer topics, we’ve included a broad range of contemporary and progressive perspectives on design. Media theory is given as much space as artistic or activist positions.
