Have you ever wondered why a woman’s bicycle is different to a man’s? Or why a drill looks so different to a food processor? Norm Form<\/em> displays the work of 50 designers and artists whose work challenges accepted norms about how an object or place should look and function.<\/p>\n

This unprecedented exhibition reveals the hidden political messages we miss in our everyday experience of the designed world, and teaches us how to subvert them.<\/p>\n

Experience design that speculates on how a gynaecological exam for a man might feel; a customised truck that enables disabled people to take direct action on their physical environment; view hijabs designed for the Swedish police force, or clothing designed to enable women equal access to jobs as firefighters.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is a portrait of a radical emerging field with its roots in critical design and protest movements. Curated by a team of experts in the field, ArkDes hosts an exhibition of work at the fringes of conventional design practice.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
