Angela Rui Angela Rui is a design curator and researcher based in Milan. She got her PhD in Exhibition Design at the Politecnico of Milan, Faculty of Architecture. Former designer, she served as design editor for years, now contributing - through mentoring, curating and writing – to redefine the role of design as a critical practice that problematises conventional ways of inhabiting and experiencing the world. She believes that designers could guard new and unrecognized collective commons, experimenting with convivial and metabolic design methodologies. Among other projects, she recently curated the exhibition and program AQUARIA. Or the Illusion of a Boxed Sea at the maat (Lisbon, 2021); she co-curated I See That I See What You don’t See, the Dutch Pavilion for Broken Nature – XXII Triennale di Milano (2019), and Faraway So Close – the 25th Ljubljana Design Biennial (2017). She is currently teaching “Pedagogies of the Sea” at the GEO-Design Master programme - Design Academy Eindhoven (NL) and Critica del Contemporaneo at the Università di Design di San Marino. - - - If The event is sold out, you could try and come to the venue and join if visitors are unable to make it last minute.
