Women’s March 2017

Can design change the world? Should it? This timely event, chaired by Catherine Flood, curator at the Victoria & Albert Museum, brings together Bloomsbury authors Dr Catharine Rossi, Professor Alan Male and Dr Russell Bestley to debate design’s potential to change the world for good (or evil), and the responsibility of designers, both professional and amateur, to use their creative powers for positive ends.

Chair and Panellists:

  • Catherine Flood, Curator, Prints, Word & Image Department, Victoria & Albert Museum
  • Dr. Catharine Rossi, Senior Lecturer in Design History, Kingston School of Art, Kingston University
  • Professor Alan Male, Emeritus Professor of Illustration
  • Dr. Russell Bestley, Principal Lecturer at London College of Communication and Reader in Graphic Design

This event is hosted at Bloomsbury Publishing in central London as an official partner of the London Design Festival 2017.
