^{Organized by: Post Design Festival}Plan your trip

In four chapters, the Post Design Tangle takes us deep into the theme of “entanglement,” where they will unravel the intersections, interconnections, and invisible strings that give shape to our visual and political surroundings. The third chapter, COMMUNITY, takes place April 14 - 15 in central Copenhagen, Denmark, bringing together six wildly inspiring designers and artists for an intense two-day participatory talks programme, social food and parties.

Speakers

Maya Moumne

of Studio Safar

Learn more about Maya Moumne

Graphic designer Maya Moumne will join us at the tangle representing Studio Safar – a design and art direction studio based in both Beirut and Montreal. Across seven time zones, Safar (meaning “travel” in Arabic) creates cross-cultural and interlingual visual communication. Besides co-founder of Studio Safar and their eponymous biannual culture journal, Maya is also the editor-in-chief of Al Hayya Magazine, and brings an inherently political view on design to the tangle. In her participatory talk, Maya will share her urge to liberate visual culture from decades of European and American hegemony by exploring notions of communication across cultural and linguistic barriers and engaging in social and political discourse, as active agents of cultural production.

Kexin Hao

Learn more about Kexin Hao

Thinking beyond disciplines of design, performance, game, clubbing, and fitness, Kexin Hao's practice is a marriage of design and performance. At the tangle, the Beijing born, Netherlands based visual artist and designer will invite us all to investigate themes of body, rituals, health, labour, and collective memory. Using a vigorous, multi-layered visual language, Kexin’s works is a constant swing between intimate close-up on personal stories and zoom-out to collective narratives; between a past of political heaviness and a flashy modernity rendered in humour and sarcasm.

Tommi Vasko

of Trojan Horse

Learn more about Tommi Vasko

Joining us from Helsinki is Tommi Vasko, representing the autonomous educational platform Trojan Horse. In collaboration with participants, they organize summer schools, live-action role-plays, workshops and reading circles exploring the boundaries and preconditions that define the field where architects, designers, and artists operate today. Trojan Horse aims to create flexible yet steady structures, that support critical design discourses. We are excited to experience their playful, participatory framework, resulting from a collective effort, shared between facilitators and participants.
