The Seattle Design Festival is a platform for bold design conversations. We believe that design is for everyone and that inclusive co-design practices are essential to shaping an equitable Seattle. We are multidisciplinary, socially engaged and civic minded.
2017 – POWER
SDF 2017: POWER
The 2017 Seattle Design Festival was September 9-22, 2017. The theme, POWER, reflected on our rapidly changing world and our values as individuals and as a community, reasserting our commitment to civic responsibility. Will our current climate of uncertainty erode justice and equity, or be a renaissance of civic action and fairness? Will we leave people at the margins behind, or will we fight to elevate them?
