Welcome to the Deep Dive of the exhibition Victor Papanek: The Politics of Design. This is where we take the themes explored in the exhibition to another level. The exhibition was on view in the museum from October 17 2020 to March 8, 2021.
Papanek’s famous book, Design for the Real World, opens with a statement: ‘There are professions more harmful than industrial design, but only a few’. Here on our digital platform, we take a closer look at those words.
