WDCD afterparty + Public Intimacy

Masterclass, Talk and Afterparty

The body has an amazingly intricate system for eliminating waste. However, we have become increasingly ashamed of this natural and inevitable bodily function. This week's Talk and Masterclass: Public Intimacy, by designers Agi Haines (UK) and Bettina Möllring (DE), aims to speculate about the role of the toilet as a prosthetic, by connecting our bodily material with our external environment. Tickets are still available.

On Friday night you're also invited for the official What Design Can Do Afterparty.
