The Design Canberra festival returns for its seventh year from 9 to 29 November, presenting more than 200 events, exhibitions, talks, tours, activations, markets, collaborations, and artists’ studios. With an overall theme of “Care,” the 2020 program is divided into three core threads: “Design Revisited,” “Meet the Makers” and “This is Suburbia.”
The Design Canberra 2020 designer in residence is glass maker Kirstie Rea who was commissioned to create a new work that responds to the festival’s 2020 theme of Care. Her work uses folded glass blankets “as a generic symbol for comfort and care, with an obvious fragility and asks us to consider our relationship with concepts of care as we move back into a world altered by the current health crisis.” For further information, head here.
