For the past few weeks, the Sydney International Design Festival has had exhibits all over the city. The Powerhouse Museum in Darling Harbour is home to most of the exhibits and Abby and I made our way there to check out the excitement.
First of all, it is an incredible museum, way more than we had the energy to check out, and the exhibits for the festival were really cool! The design festival is an annual event in Sydney that celebrates innovative design in clothing, art, home design, housewares, textiles, appliances, environmental action, inventions, graphics, wool... items that impact our lives every day.
The festival website describes the activities this way: This year the Sydney Design team at the Powerhouse Museum has selected a festival program that will show you where design is making a difference in our lives, how designers are addressing the bigger issues of social and environmental responsibility, and provide a unique insight into the creative processes of designers and architects. Plus there’s the usual feast of celebrations, good humour and creative discourse that make Sydney Design a must on the annual festival calendar.
We saw an interactive design critique by an entertaining flamboyant guy in a goofy outfit, walked around for a few hours, saw some great pieces of art and design, and made it back to Coogee in time for a nap, dinner and movies with our flatemates.
Another a great day in Sydney.
