Design Fringe 2023

Linden New Art is pleased to host this year's Design Fringe 2023, a part of Melbourne's Fringe Festival Program.

Our Design Fringe provocation in 2023, Speculation: Eight Billion Little Utopias, invites Australian designers to reimagine our societies, communities, politics and ideals to be catalysts for conversations on alternative visions through the breadth of design practice. We are looking for work that is speculative in its fullest interpretation: through materials, methodologies, approaches and an understanding of what constitutes design and how it can be a source of vision. We are seeking designers whose work is poetic, critical and progressive, engages with the big issues of our time, critiques and encourages conversations and has the capacity to imagine new utopias.
