Voice, More Than Ever...More than ever
 Voiced!
Voice finally happened! AIGA's ninth biennial design conference, which
had to be postponed last fall, took place in Washington, D.C. March 21-23,
2002. Twelve hundred designers descended upon the nation's capital to
talk passion, power and politics and party hard. A world-class roster
of socially-engaged and idiosyncratic voices had been invited to demonstrate
their potency as creative practitioners and as human beings. Some of their
presentations are available in this website.
AIGA wishes to extend a huge heartfelt thank you
to all those who selflessly contributed to the success of this event:
the speakers, the advisors, the designers of the promotional pieces, the
volunteers, the board and chapter presidents and the AIGA/DC chapter.
But the loudest shout goes out to the attendees,
especially those who stuck with us and signed up twice–a truly dedicated
crowd.
Although the Voice conference may be over, the issues surrounding design's
social and political agency continue to occupy AIGA. We are inspired and
challenged to focus less upon the world of design and more upon the world. |
