In our current rapidly changing world, we have been collecting moments that have given us the opportunity to reflect and share what is important to us. We’ve also been trying to figure out ways to reach out differently to our community.

As part of the Festival of Emergence hosted by the Design Research Society in September 2021, we released new prompts 3 days a week for the duration of the festival. We held live collection sessions via Zoom engaging attendees to collectively respond to the release of our prompt and share their submissions in a different and engaging way.

Check out the submissions from MMM x Festival of Emergence event below!
