Reclaiming dialogue through design to strengthen democracy and bridge growing divides.
Designing Democracy challenges visitors to rethink how we engage with democratic processes amid division and uncertainty. It calls for a renewed commitment to democratic dialogue. The Designers of We Are want the visitors to observe, speak, envision, and act together with courage. They invite the public to take an active role in this often opaque and distant process, making democratic practice accessible and participatory.
The exhibition features five key works that explore the role of cultural experimentation and activation in restoring democratic values. These works create spaces for uncertainty, questioning, and embracing multiple truths. They offer innovative strategies to rethink engagement, emphasizing understanding over persuasion, and fostering connection across perspectives, disciplines, and generations.
