Island of Ideas | Designing for a Regenerative Future

About this event

Design has always been about making things, what is changing is where it is being applied. There is growing demand for design practice in contexts that are messier, more consequential, and more deeply entangled with how communities and ecosystems interact.

Join Dr Vanessa Ward and Dianne Dredge for a conversation exploring regenerative design across tourism, education, ecological restoration and community-led practice. Drawing on projects from Tasmania's kelp forests to regenerative tourism initiatives on Flinders Island, they will consider how design can respond to the environmental and social challenges shaping our future.

Together, they will explore how systems thinking, collaboration and place-based approaches are asking what it means to practise design when the goal is not a finished product, but a healthier system.
