New beginnings

de-funk has decided to be on hiatus, as we are shifting our aims.

We will be shifting to designcircus.tumblr.com, do check us out.

Design circus are a medley of design enthusiasts consisting of academics, practitioners and students with a shared passion and curiosity concerning design.

Seeking to discover the world of design in different Asian cities, this traveling troupe will explore design museums, libraries, educational institutions,
commercial centers, and design studios within each country, with a series of workshops and small talks.

Primarily through exposure to the design culture of other countries, Design circus aims to connect designers from various backgrounds and encourage discussion and experience sharing.

In turn this would inspire participants to build a positive design culture by enabling learning and experimentation beyond the limitations of professional practice by way of collaboration.

From the said journey of discovery, the outcome will be documented in various forms of communication such as case studies, critique sessions or exhibitions.

The exchange could support a deeper understanding of the contributions of graphic design to contemporary and historic cultural development as well as the role of the graphic designers in their own society in the context of Asia.
