During Dutch Design Week 2021, the Network Archives Design and Digital Culture (NADD) is organising an event about using and reinterpreting design heritage.
Reinterpreting Design Heritage
Experienced practitioners, including designers Bas van Beek and Toon Koehorst, director of the Van Abbemuseum Charles Esche and NADD programme manager Brigitte Jansen, discuss the ways they use archive materials, and how they give them a new interpretation. The event will be moderated by Flora van Gaalen, head of programme at Het Nieuwe Instituut.
During the event, the four speakers will touch on issues concerning how to unlock design heritage and the importance of digitisation. They offer an insight into the current application of design and digital culture archives that are organised in a decentralised way. What does it mean to look back at design history, how does that work in the existing landscape of collections, and how does it influence contemporary design practice?
