International Clinic: Turkey, Egypt and MoroccoInternational Clinic: Turkey, Egypt and Morocco

From responding to the climate crisis, reconsidering relations with non-human beings, and contributing to more inclusive and just societies; design can play a fundamental role. Through international collaboration, knowledge development and exchange, design contributions addressing these global challenges can be strengthened and made more visible. Yet the opportunities for advancing international design practices and solutions are not always known.

During this edition of the International Clinic you will have the chance to network with fellow artists and designers to discover more about the possibilities in parts of the Mediterranean region.

This event will be followed by a network drink at Nieuwe Instituut and coincides with our Free Thursday Night which allows guests to visit the exhibitions for free and partake in a Thursday Night Detour.
