(4.1) The exhibition on tour – Tools for the Design Revolution at the Designmonat Graz

The exhibition showed design at a turning point. Design played a key role in the remoulding of society to be capable of dealing with the future, as well as in the formulation of sustainable lifestyles based on global solidarity: tools for the design revolution were sustainable design strategies that could make a socially, environmentally, and ethically sustainable future a reality. Learning from each other, experimental strategies and concepts in connection with scientifically based methods were in the foreground.

Pilot projects conceived specially for the exhibition outlined future working scenarios for designers and a paradigmatic shift in the way the discipline of design was regarded. For the Designmonat, two new projects were developed by Animal Design Studio in cooperation with Holding Graz and by Veronika Tzekova with Cargo Center Graz. The exhibition invited visitors to engage critically with the subject of sustainability and their own consumer culture.

The exhibition was developed in cooperation with designaustria in 2012.
