Design Dispersed pursues the complex and heterogeneous connections
between migration and design in the 20th and 21st centuries. The
edited volume gathers contributions by international researchers
and curators on the question of how design practices and
(historical) objects articulate, respond to and critically reflect
on migration, flight and displacement: Besides a collage which
highlights the aesthetic effects resulting from the networking,
overlapping and mixing of forms, another strand of the book looks
at the political and social dimensions of design. How are design
objects material modes of a critical inquiry on movements of people
and things? What role do object trajectories play in the emigre
movements of the 1930s and 1940s? Other texts follow the question
of how migrants and refugees form their experience and political
fight for acceptance into design and architectural productions. A
final essay contributes to wordings and projections - what
vocabulary do we need in order to adequately think and write about
a design dispersed?
