Thanks to @Lighthouse_BTN and @realjunkfoodBri for hosting and catering the @DesignStarCDT event so wonderfully. Highly recommend them both if you’re looking for a venue!
And with that, our final event is winding down. Our Director @ekindel gave thanks to all who have helped, collaborated and supported along the way, with special thanks to @typowalker who led the CDT from 2014 until 2022 most wonderfully
The nibbles have arrived - thanks @realjunkfoodBri they are delicious, and @Lighthouse_BTN for suggesting RJF
A quick thank you to #brighton for being so polite with its weather - some of us have been in the sea 🌊
Final Q+A, chaired by Sally, discussing vehicles for collaborating, archival material + storytelling, objects as a tool for discussion + revelation, and working with public bodies in design research. Fascinating talks, thank you to all contributors! @DesignStarCDT
Our final talk of the event: Jenna discussing ‘Amateur filmmaking as a practice of neuroqueer refusal at the intersection of queer knowledge learning disability’ @DesignStarCDT
Tom presenting ‘Buttons, books, bombs and body cameras: Some reflections on using design things in police research’ @DesignStarCDT
Liam explaining their ‘Co-designing forests’ approach and work with Forestry England @DesignStarCDT @legs_ohagan
Trespassers will be celebrated! @legs_ohagan telling us how he and the lovely Bella get the research done (and how climbing over walls is also research)
Suzanne, presenting her ‘storytelling as a research method’ @DesignStarCDT
David, discussing his research on ‘Automated indifference’, how making complex systems seem simple or automatic, can often hide the labour and consumption of resources @DesignStarCDT
Delicious lunch for our final event, provided by @realjunkfoodBri who have taken into consideration all of our dietary requirements- thank you @Lighthouse_BTN for sorting this out
Sally chairing our next Q+A with Rui, Katarina, and Scott @DesignStarCDT @KRAALD
Scott presenting on ‘Route setting as embodied design practice’ @DesignStarCDT
Talks themed around ‘environment’ from Rui on ‘Design for Ocean’, Katarina on ‘Co-designing plastic waste ontologies’ @DesignStarCDT @KRAALD
Making notes so I don’t have to! Thanks @cohenbaum for writing on the walls! We will have a perfect summary of our CDT’s final event @Lighthouse_BTN @ahrcpress
The final event to celebrate the Design Star Centre for Doctoral Training has begun! First a tour of Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. Thanks to Naomi for picking out the highlights and to Polly for booking the trip @DesignStarCDT @BrightonMuseums @pollyharte
Design Star event workshop: Set-up for the Materialities workshop with Berta Ferrer Andres @arqdelibros @DesignStarCDT
Workshop in full flow for Design Star, at Lighthouse Brighton @DesignStarCDT @arqdelibros @Lighthouse_BTN
Beautiful objects created at the workshop today, telling many different stories, and pushing the meaning of the ‘materiality’ of the book. Thank you everyone! @DesignStarCDT @arqdelibros @Lighthouse_BTN
