Design Drafts #2: Design Drafts In Session is the result of an open call for up-and-coming and mid-career writers which was announced in April 2023. From this open call, PIN-UP and Nieuwe Instituut selected five writers: Alfonse Chiu, Michael Andrés Forero Parra, Ibrahim Kombarji, Liara Roux, and Angela U. Shyaka. They were encouraged to expand the assumed canon and to highlight gaps in design history in their writing. The result is five essays which are published in the new issue of PIN-UP and will be presented during the evening.

Design Drafts
Launched in 2022, Design Drafts is a growing writing and publishing network dedicated to exploring and designing what it means to write about design today. Through collaborations between the Nieuwe Instituut and various magazines and publishing platforms, the Design Drafts series stimulates new forms of design writing and discourse, in a collective search for new languages for writing about design.
The media partner for the first edition, Design Drafts #1, was the London-based magazine Disegno.
