O Museu Stedelijk destaca o maior desafio do nosso tempo: a crise climática. A exposição It's Our F***ing Backyard mostra que os designers podem fazer uma diferença convincente: através de experiências inovadoras ou recorrendo a conhecimentos 'esquecidos', eles nos convidam a olhar para os materiais de uma maneira radicalmente nova e nos oferecem um design que é ao mesmo tempo responsável e estético, confortável e acessível. Oitenta projetos selecionados de designers e empresas de todo o mundo lançam luz sobre uma série de estratégias que exploram usos inovadores de materiais. A exposição também analisa como o esgotamento do solo se relaciona com as práticas do colonialismo, que ainda são continuadas por algumas multinacionais.
The Stedelijk spotlights the greatest challenge of our time: the climate crisis. The exhibition It's Our F***ing Backyard shows that designers can make a compelling difference: through innovative experiments or by drawing on 'forgotten' knowledge, they invite us to look at materials in a radically new way and offer us design that is both responsible and aesthetic, comfortable and accessible. Eighty selected projects by designers and companies from all over the world shed light on an array of strategies that explore innovative uses of materials. The exhibition also looks at how soil depletion relates to practices of colonialism, which are still continued by some multinationals.
