More than 60 Detroiters plan to attend the prestigious Saint-Etienne Design Biennale in France to present, perform and connect with the global design community.
The event is Thursday through Saturday. Detroit's delegation includes city officials, independent designers, large companies, artists and urban farmers, according to Robin Runyan of Curbed Detroit:
One neighborhood that will have a large presence at the Biennale is the North End. Groups traveling to France for the Biennale include Akoaki Architecture and Design, Detroit Afrikan Music Institute, O.N.E. Mile, and Oakland Avenue Urban Farms. The collaborative effort between these groups will culminate in an exhibition called "Out of Site."
“We are excited to be a part of the Saint Etienne Design Biennale representing Detroit, said Anya Sirota, principal at Akoaki. “Our exhibit ‘Out of Site’ is a set of three design installations that show how form and form-making can signify something meaningful in an urban space.”
