The second annual London Design Biennale will feature participants from all six continents as international curators and designers explore big questions and ideas about sustainability, migration, pollution, energy, cities, and social equality with the event’s guiding 'emotional states' motif. All participants, including some of the world’s most celebrated cultural institutions such as the Victoria and Albert Museum (UK), Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia (Switzerland), Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design, and University of the Arts, Berlin (Germany), will develop thought-provoking installations which examine universal and individual expressions of emotion.
The exhibition will be presented at Somerset House, opening on 4th September and concluding on 23rd September 2018.
A Matter of Things is organised by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute operating under the Culture.pl brand and is part of its Polska Design programme promoting Polish design worldwide.
