Our Participation at Dutch Design Week 2024
The World, our house, is on fire, and we can no longer ignore the flames. Climate change, inequality, and injustice are threatening the very foundation of our society. But Design has the power to be our solution. - Ian Francis, Co-Founder, Kenge Content Hive


On the 22nd of October, at BioArt Laboratories in Eindhoven, we successfully held a special session called Design Reparations, represented by our co-founder Ian Francis. The presentation highlighted our commitment with our partners to integrating traditional knowledge with modern design, showcasing how local practices can merge with contemporary approaches to create innovative, climate-resilient solutions. This session marked a significant step toward decolonization, addressing the historical disconnect between younger generations and the profound connection to nature that guided the lives of our elders. Our design innovations aim to bridge this gap, reconnecting the current generation with nature by merging tradition and modernity. This successful event represented a hopeful step toward lasting change, renewing our connection to both environment and culture.
