Is it time for a new design?
Why does our political system look the way it does? And does it still work for the world we live in today?
Public Matter(s): Design and Democracy is an exhibition opening in October 2026 at the newly renovated Design Museum Gent. Curated by Amelie Klein and Vera Sacchetti, the project explores the foundational relationship between design choices and democratic systems, arguing that how a society lives together and makes decisions is ultimately a product of design.
