Brazil Hub
The São Paulo Hub brought the international RSD15 conversation into dialogue with Brazilian and Latin American perspectives on systemic design. Through a workshop, a Conversation Studio and a series of talks, the programme explored how systemic approaches could respond to complex and interconnected challenges. Bringing together researchers, educators, practitioners and students, the hub fostered exchange across disciplines and knowledge systems, with particular attention to situated practices, plural ways of knowing and the relationships connecting people, technologies, institutions and environments.
