NYCxDESIGN is guided by core values of community, creativity, inclusivity, diversity, and sustainable design for the greater good. Beyond our annual Festival, our year-round programming provides a platform for NYC’s diverse design talent, from students and emerging designers to seasoned professionals. Each program fosters connection, education, and inspiration, empowering the next generation to use design as a powerful tool for positive impact and addressing the world’s most pressing needs.
On May 22nd, we’re transforming our studio into a gallery of original works, aiming to shed light on governmental and societal shortcomings and to question who in our city really benefits from decisions made by the powers that be.
Questioning fuels creativity. It helps us embrace uncertainty in order to imagine new possibilities. Great questions provoke. They hold power accountable, encourage self-reflection and growth.
Yet societal forces try to squeeze out our instinct to inquire until all we have left are yes’s and no’s.
But New York City has never been a city that falls in line. At its best it’s a metropolis of boundless curiosity, where bullshit isn’t tolerated, the status quo is interrogated (and knocked down whenever necessary), and new paradigms are explored.
It’s this same hometown spirit that drives our studio to question it all in what promises to be an evening of inspiration, provocation and connection. You in?
