Panel discussion: Design Stories / Brussels

Join us at Design Museum Brussels for a panel discussion exploring the ways in which women can generate social change through design practices that combine art, craft and technology. Bringing together curators, educators and historians, the event will examine how women-led design can engage and transform communities.
