Event Details

In Conversation with Trent Jansen: My Making Experience in the Chor Bazaar 

Trent Jansen recently returned from Mumbai as part of a three-week field study for a project called Porosity Kabari, where he and fellow project participants, Richard Goodwin and Ishan Khosla, worked with local makers, using only items and makers found in or around the bazaar. 

Hear about Trent’s experience of working in a way that is far removed from his normal practice and how this affected the creative process. Has this led to a new way of thinking for the designers involved?

Trent will be interviewed by David Harrison founder of the blog Design Daily.

Porosity Kabari supporters and collaborators: University of Wollongong, University of NSW, ISDI Parsons University, Mumbai, Studio X Mumbai, Ministry of New, Mumbai.

Proudly presented at Factory Design District as part of Vivid Ideas 2016. For full progam of events, talks and dinners see www.factorydesigndistrict.com
