The presentation is organised by UFRJ/Coppe – Rio DESIS Lab.
Ezio Manzini presents his book “Politics of the Everyday” and the Brazilian version “Políticas do Cotidiano”.
Ezio Manzini is an Italian design academic and author known for his work on design for social innovation and sustainability.
The presentation will be in English.
About the book:
“Politics of the Everyday” presents examples of social innovation that show how, even in these difficult times, a better kind of society is possible. By bringing autonomy and collaboration together, it is possible to develop new forms of design intelligence, for our own good, for the good of the communities we are part of, and for society as a whole.
This book discusses “the nature and political sense of our life projects, starting from their everyday existence. (…) The book was born from my experience as a designer in the field of social innovation and seeks to make a contribution to the diffusion of a critical, collaborative design capability. It is a book of design culture, whose potential readership includes everyone who is involved in design activity – and so, effectively, anybody”.
