The 34th Design Fundamentals Seminar: From Silence to Voice -- Design’s Role in Children's Rights and Recovery
Alice Miller (1923–2010) pointed out that suppressing childhood emotions has long-term effects on society. She simultaneously respected children as subjects of rights and outlined conditions for recovery. This time, drawing on her perspective, we will explore how we can design a public sphere of recovery that treats children as subjects of rights. Together, we will deepen this discussion, moving back and forth between theory, institutions and practical fieldwork.
