Over the weekend as a course we visited Disobedient Objects an exhibition examining the powerful role of objects in movements for social change. It demonstrates how political activism drives a wealth of design ingenuity and collective creativity that defy standard definitions of art and design. For someone, who isn't a massive fan of exhibitions (the pretence, the air etc) I found the exhibition actually enjoyable and very engrossing. Seeing the banners, and badges up close, rather than seeing them in photographs in the media made it a lot more real. I felt inspired by the possible outcomes I could have for the OUGD505 brief, such as stickers, banners, tote bags, badges etc. Overall, the exhibition was useful and very relevant and I enjoyed my time in London.
