Multiplicity & Visual Identities 2010/2011 >> Call for Application

Multiplicity & Visual Identities focuses on contemporary and future corporate design and visual representation. Its aim is to examine visual identity strategies in the changing context of hybrid societies. The programme aims to look at the socio-economic, socio-political, and cultural issues at the interface of private/corporate and social/collective interests.

Multiplicity & Visual Identities is structured as a blend of theory, practice and research. It combines the academic scope of an interrogative course programme; the intellectual exchange of a speculative think-tank; the practical elements of a critical design workshop on (cultural identity, design and image politics; and the pragmatism of a real-life research laboratory for cultural analysis.
The programme 2010/2011 will focus on design, identities and trust and invites design research participants to go beyond themselves. See for further information, application, current projects and expert pool the official programme website.

Partnering with: / Supported by:
Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture, Amsterdam
Swiss Federal Government – Bundesamt für Kultur BAK, Berne
INDIGO network – Icograda/ International Design Alliance, Montreal
