Making MattersMaking Matters

The symposium is set up as a dialogue between different kinds of making practices and aims to develop new perspective on their critical potential.

In the NWO-funded research project 'Bridging Art, Design and Technology through Critical Making', the consortium investigates how Critical Making - a notion originally developed in the context of social research, design and technology - can be adopted and developed in relation to artistic research and (post)critical theory.
