The exhibition shares innovative work throughout the nation in complex natural, social, cultural, historical, economic, and political contexts. Visitors experience a demonstration of the _mpathic design thinking essential for designing for an equitable and inclusive world. The exhibition invites you to rethink the present by acknowledging and understanding the past, with models to co-create inclusive design futures.
