Let’s talk about money, let’s talk about the economic viability of the design profession, let’s talk about ‘subsidies’ vs. ‘incubators’, and let’s talk glossy lifestyle magazines vs. the lifestyle of the designers featured in them. As part of the project Take It or Leave It / Design Economics the Van Abbemuseum is inviting the public to join a conversation between design practitioners and theoreticians around the economic structures of design as a profession and discipline and discuss possible future models and directions together.

Attendance is free, but we appreciate it if you reserve a seat
