Description: | In the run-up to International Women’s Day 2014, the Women’s Design + Research Unit (WD+RU, UK) and Women of Graphic Design (WoGD, USA) ran a unique Twitter collaboration. Taking the year’s theme ‘inspiring change’, we set ourselves a 48-hour Twitter challenge. Our goal was to help us better understand some of the very real challenges women face in graphic design and equally, to celebrate women who have inspired change; for example, through projects, teaching or mentoring. We asked our friends, colleagues, as well as the broader design community to help us by reTweeting but also by actively participating in our Twitter conversations. We presented our findings and responses at the Design Culture Salon: 'What are the gender politics of contemporary design practice?’ (7 March 2014, 7:00 - 8:30pm, V&A, London) Further details here: http://designculturesalon.org/ The Twitter conversation was run from 4-5 March by @WomensDesign and @wofgd using the hashtags: #womensday #graphicdesign |
