Philanthropy derives from Ancient Greek, meaning “to love people” and is often translated through donating money, goods, services, time and effort to support a socially beneficial cause. With the rise of social enterprise and human capital, philanthropy has taken on new roles in the economy. Artists, designers, entrepreneurs and enterprises alike are using the concept of philanthropy as a subject matter and a currency to respond to both present and future needs.

Debating Design and Design for Debate.

“Is the recent dialogue between designers and other disciplines mutating design and therefore mutating our world” Paola Antonelli

Stimulated by advances in emergent technologies and operating in a speculative field design at this moment is the most Darwinistic of disciplines. Designers are using imaginary narratives and objects to provoke debate, discuss future possibilities and facilitate engagement. Designers are designing cells, body parts, religions and rituals, money, future implication scenarios and new interactions. The object is no longer a slick glossy finished product but a platform for endless possibilities.
