This year’s Designers in Residence programme has revealed its digital showcase, with four projects revolving around the theme of care.
The responses to 2020’s theme have been cross-discipline, from care packages which make use of illustration to a series of digital walks which encourage people to interact with the natural world.
Designers in Residence is an annual programme at London’s Design Museum, where designers are invited for a ten-month residency to explore a chosen theme. This year, the programme’s 13th, boasted an all female line-up.
Although the theme of care was chosen before the pandemic, it has taken on new meaning during the pandemic, according to senior curator of public programmes Sumitra Upham.
