FBTB22: Leyla Acaroglu – Designing Disruptive Change

Dr. Leyla Acaroglu is an internationally known sustainability provocateur, sociologist, and award-winning designer. Among her latest accomplishments, she attended as a panelist at COP26 talking about the need for systems transformation around design, production and consumption.

The talk:
As designers, we have immense influence on society and with this brings a great opportunity to help design the future that works better than today. Whilst there is infinite potential for transformative change, there are equally infinite impacts that we must contend with.

With such rapid technological and cultural change, how can design help to create cultural conditions that facilitate positive change, and level up the role we each play in disrupting the status quo? Design disruptor Leyla Acaroglu will share some of her provocations on thinking differently about the role of design in shaping a better future and helping to address the climate, waste and cultural crises we are in.
