And how much do we know about who created the work that has inspired today’s cutting-edge design? In the Netherlands, and globally, design and digital culture archives are under threat. Fortunately, archivists are finding innovative ways to preserve these vital records and make them accessible to new audiences. With: James Parnell from Pirate Bay Archive (https://worm.org/about/worm-pirate-bay/), Kinda Ghannoum & Sally Alassafen of Syrian Graphic Design Archive (https://www.instagram.com/syriandesignarchive/) and Joel Derksen & Patrick Pittman of Nor: A Living and Open Commons of Canadian Design (https://nor.design/). Moderated by Alice Twemlow (https://alicetwemlow.com/).
