Margate Festival of Design, 16-25 September 2022

MARGATE FESTIVAL OF DESIGN: DESIGN, SOCIETY, NATURE
EXPLORE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DESIGN, COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENT AT THE SEASIDE
16TH – 25TH SEPTEMBER 2022

2022 WILL BE THE DEBUT YEAR OF MARGATE FESTIVAL OF DESIGN™, AN EVENT CREATED BY THE MARGATE SCHOOL THAT WILL EXPLORE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS THROUGH THE LANGUAGE OF DESIGN.

A lively programme of displays, talks, walks and workshops will draw together education, community and industry. The focus will be graphic design.

The Festival will be held over two weekends:
Weekend One of Margate Festival of Design will focus on ‘Society’. As social beings, visual language is critical to the way humans interact with the world. From politics to navigating spaces to what we eat, design influences people and their behaviours.

Weekend Two of the Festival will focus on ‘Nature’. Our world’s survival depends on the well-being and preservation of the natural world. The climate crisis and its growing impact is one of the most pressing and existential challenges we all face and learning how to live in a more sustainable world is of the utmost importance. Sustainable design and its beneficial impact on our lives and the environment are key to helping forge the path for a brighter, greener future for the next generation.
Additional talks and displays will feature in between.

It will be a Festival for all, with many events free to attend. The hub will be The Margate School, supported by other locations in Margate High Street.
