DRAFTS 3 - Research Exhibition

DRAFTS 3: Research Exhibition

12-20 May, 2022, Berlin, designtransfer, Universität der Künste Berlin

The multi-platform event DRAFTS invites researchers and designers to discuss the role of artifacts in research and design activities within disciplines such as fashion, textile, and interaction design. What is an artifact? The term can be understood and explored in varied ways. In alignment with scholarly voices, artifacts could be regarded as "intermediary knowledge", "bridging concept" (Dalsgaard and Dindler, 2014), or "strong concepts" (Höök and Owgren, 2012), which "can serve as inputs into knowledge production and as outputs for knowledge communication" (Nimkulrat, 2013). The multi-platform event DRAFTS explores in its different venues these conceptions of what research artifacts in design processes can be.

In an international collaboration between the Berlin University of the Arts and the University of Boras - The Swedish School of Textiles, the 27 individual or collaborative research projects are presented in the format of a research exhibition at designtransfer.
