PIVOT Dublin Website Call for guest curators

 

 

Posted by Pivot Admin, 20.11.2011

The aim of PIVOT Dublin is to explain, demonstrate and celebrate design’s positive impact on our lives. The PIVOT Dublin website is a vital way of communicating this and to promote collaborations initiated through the World Design Capital project. Dublin has a vibrant design scene creating unique experiences, places, events, products – all captured in PIVOT Dublin. We have much to share but also wish to learn. We are looking for groups and individuals with interesting design stories and perspectives to be guest curators on the PIVOT Dublin site. We are looking for stories at every scale, from every place and of any time.

By becoming a guest curator you will have the opportunity to promote your unique take on design and make new connections. In turn, PIVOT Dublin will grow national and international interest in design in Ireland to a new level.
If you are interested in becoming a PIVOT Dublin guest curator, please send us a pdf containing three case study projects and a one hundred word description of your proposed approach.
