How Beautiful Design Thinking May Just Save the World

Saturday, July 18 | 4:00 p.m. | Facebook

Putting the new exhibition Design by Time in broader perspective, Curator Catherine Walworth discusses the landscape of international design exhibitions, the idea of obsolescence, and how beauty is the missing ingredient if we’re going to solve anything. This lecture highlights several designers who focus on the environment in elegantly surprising ways or who harness the power of nature to create objects. Walworth will be present in the chat to answer any questions. Free.

Be on the CMA's Facebook page at 4:00 p.m. to see the video. If you have liked the CMA's page, you will be alerted when the video starts in Facebook's notifications.
