A Design Dialogue on 7 July saw a gathering of early career designers, researchers, writers and curators, some of whom were participants of past events we had organised such as Design Exchange Trips (DeX) and detour. The communal round table sharing session enabled all to broaden their networks and facilitated an exchange of creative ideas via a series of presentations which provided an introduction and insight into each unit's work and inspirations.
