Outline of the brief to be pitched on Monday for the Thursday late event.
WE ARE BROKE // BROKE is a collective which aims to make artistic comments on (the function of) modern design. Design loves a depression; we feel modern, ‘everyday design’ is capitalising on our current economic climate. We aim to challenge modern attitudes towards this recession-born, disposable ‘everyday design’. The great depression gave birth to ‘make do & mend’ due to a lack of resources (and finance). We now have greater responsibility to be sustainable due our over consumption of those resources.
“Faced with a crisis that threatens our survival as a species, our entire culture is continuing to do the very thing that caused the crisis, only with an extra dose of elbow grease behind it” - Naomi Klein 2014
Great design can be born from times of austerity as demonstrated throughout the 20th Century within the House Proud exhibition. Why are we over consuming cheap and unsustainable design in a environment where we simply cannot afford to do so? We aim to examine where these standards went and how being ‘house proud’ has changed over time.
