An Open Call for Women Designers – A New Show Featuring Work by Women in ID
Posted in: Uncategorized
In the original story, we referred to this as the first ever show highlighting women’s role in ID. We apologize for the mistake and acknowledge that there have been previous shows featuring outstanding work from female ID’ers. We’re excited to share another great exhibit shining light on the growing community.
Ti Chang, co-founder of Crave and industrial designer, is working on a movement. While women have been quietly kicking ass in the ID department for years, there hasn’t been a whole lot of coverage on the phenomenon (although, our forums did host a discussion on the movement back in 2012). This write-up from GOOD—as penned by our very own Core77 Design Awards Writing & Commentary jury captain, Alissa Walker—is a great look into the issue. After realizing the underrepresentation in the form of a Wikipedia list, Chang has been working to create a “Women in ID” show to debut at this year’s San Francisco Design Week—and she’s looking for designers. More on getting involved from the website:
For one night only, the show will feature 15 designers in two categories—Up+Coming and Professionals. The work can be conceptual, in full production or anything in between. WID’s hope is to showcase a wide scope of industrial design work by women in various stages of their careers. Ladies, you know you rock. This is a great opportunity to showcase your work and meet your peers during the excitement of SF Design Week.
Get more information on how to submit your own work here before March 10th for a chance to be featured. To get a better feel for the event and what attendees can expect, read on for our questions and Chang’s answers.
