Discussion

Brit has posted the main points we (Laura, Brit and Henny) discussed after the presentatin about the Role of Art and design in the society. We came up with some interesting points I think as did the two other groups.

A point I like to add to this afternoon is that I find it an important thing to have environments like this where discussion is stimulated on important topics like this. My personal experience since graduating as a designer is that I had to start working for money straight away. This doesnt leave much, hardly any, space for discussions like this. Simply because my colleagues and friends started working on their own and the interaction and discussion that was lively in college is gone.

Being part of a workshop where I dont need to worry about income for a while and have the time and space to think, discuss and work on the larger perspective of design is a very nice and important thing. So thank you Cittadellarte for organising this and inviting us.
