[Tunnel 29] – Design for a Post-Apocalyptic World
[ Tunnel 29] – Design for a Post-Apocalyptic World it’s an exhibition concevied and realized by The Centre for Creativity / Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO). Located in the Discovering section of Superdesign Show 2021, the post-apocalyptic scenario, supposed before the pandemic, becomes a stimulus for designers’ creativity and inventive, transforming itself into a manifesto of new possible solutions.
'The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works (as system) and the way people think (linearly)' anthropologist and psychologist Gregory Bateson wrote this prophetic sentence 1972 book “Steps to an Ecology of Mind”. Starting from a gloomy scenario in which the world is deprived of its resources, the man controlled and limited in its freedoms, Mika Cimolini curator of the exhibition [Tunnel 29], invites designers and visitors to leave their comfort zone and to find design solutions suitable to the reality we live in. How can we prepare for the inevitable apocalypse heralded by viruses and climatic catastrophes? How can we act to avoid it?
The exhibition presents the works of over 30 Slovenian designers daring with three dimensions of living: housing, production and food.
