Please register so we can provide enough kites.
Kites have something innocent, something that reminds of childhood and endless summers. Of freedom and joy. Of wonderment and hope. Of experimentation and play with nature; our relationship with the wind made visible in a fun way. Can we give it a voice too?
During this writing huddle, we claim space for childhood joy, while drafting our energy vows to the next generation. After committing our thoughts to words, we will then decorate classic Edy kites (provided) and let our voices loose on the wind, flying our messages of hope for a more sustainable future on the Library greenroof (weather allowing).
Explore SG’s related events this quarter on the theme: (Re)Claiming Space
How does design—of streets, campuses, digital platforms, or lecture halls—shape who belongs and who does not? And what happens when we use these spaces to speak out, resist and make ourselves seen? When presence turns into protest, these spaces become political.
In this series, we explore how political spaces come into being: why they matter, how they are designed, and how they might be redesigned. SG invites designers, philosophers, activists, and students to explore how we might design for difference.
