the exhibition

Design is persuasive. It shifts us from one perspective to another, showing us alternative futures and visions in which things could be new and different. When we design for persuasion, we engage our own agency in order to provoke, shift mindsets and create spaces for reflection and dialogue.

In the Persuade Us! exhibition, we explored a series of concepts and tactics and developed persuasive, near future artifacts. In the process, we’re asking ourselves such questions as: how might we design for futures beyond just thought experiments? Where do our provocations lead? 
As you explore these projects, we hope to spark inspiration, intrigue and imagination. Have we persuaded you?
