Contemporary Lynx is a proud media partner of this year’s edition of the Gdynia Design Days Festival. The GDD takes place from June 24th to 29th.
Gdynia Design Days is a festival about finding solutions to current challenges through design. It culminates in events and exhibitions held during the summer, but we are active in the field of design all year round, including organizing meetings, discussions, lectures, and exhibitions.
This year’s theme: Dispersion
We are everywhere and nowhere in particular. It is easy to overlook the fact we are following a vague path, one that is not illuminated by a strong and coherent idea.
The resources and solutions are within our reach, but not yet firmly in our grasp. The global scale and diversity of challenges compel us to experiment, to seek answers in multiple places at once. In the midst of polycrises and an accelerating modern world, we are unable to capture them all. So, let’s stop for a moment and take a look around. Perhaps we no longer need to keep searching?
Just as Gdynia was originally conceived as a remedy for the ailments of industrial-era cities, social hardships and political constraints, so, too, we now dream of a new direction towards something better. Our hope lies in design. Its potential and its responsibility in shaping the present will strongly resonate throughout this year’s edition of Gdynia Design Days. We will use one of Poland’s most significant design festivals as a platform to discuss the idea we need in order to make wise use of the tools we already have. Once again, Gdynia’s exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and various exchanges of knowledge will inspire new initiatives for a better tomorrow.
