After the success of our gal-dem UK online tour for Kickstarter they set us a new challenge - how can we reengage with maker community after a year of lockdown?
Thinking about our work with Kickstarter, Distributed Design, Make Works and Make Manifesto we started to hatch a plan. We asked ourselves what do makers and designers want to hear in 2021? What issues are important to them? What trends have we seen emerging on the Kickstarter platform this past year that we might be able to provide insight into? That’s when Rewired emerged.
Each week throughout May we curated three one-hour sessions that dove into the ideas that are shaping a more vibrant and equitable future.
Session 1: Dreaming of the Future with Rob Hopkins, Sebastian from Lunark and Carson from Taur
Session 2: Design that gives back with Ross Atkin, Chloe Meineck and Daniel Becerra
Session 3: Wonder materials, circular waste and sustainability with Seetal Solanki and Tom Meades
We were delighted to co-host sold-out events with Heather Swift- Hunt from Kickstarter’s Design and Technology Team. With kind words and support from the maker community including Develop 3D and Restarters.
