Sydney Design Festival

2018 is the 20th anniversary of the Sydney Design Festival. This annual contemporary design festival creates a platform for a convergence of people, ideas and activities across creative industry sectors.

Sydney Design Festival program content provides visitors with an opportunity to unpack design in all its forms – to understand and explore the processes, functions and narratives within design enterprise and to be inspired by the exhibitions and people involved in creating our futures.

The festival aims to:

• To make design accessible and engaging to new audiences
• Showcase work of designers, both emerging and established
• To tackle design challenges and the future of design
• To be inclusive, representative and cross-disciplinary

FESTIVAL THEME: CALL TO ACTION
This year creatives have responded to the Sydney Design Festival theme Call to Action. Action is purpose and movement; Action is deliberate and forward-thinking. Design has a role to play in an ever-changing world and has the potential to solve complex global problems.
