On the afternoon of the 27th of june, at 2 pm, we will close the first PUBcast series on #selfdesign with a public recording of a b-side for the six podcasts. Bringing together format and content, followed by music and drinks.
An interview with Geert Lovink, the founding director of the Institute of Network Cultures, together with Nick Axel, editor of e-flux architecture. We will discuss the implications and formats of contemporary content distribution and their relations with the design of the self. Followed by a discussion with the hosts and contributors of this series.
In this first PUBcast series, for 12 weeks we have been reflecting on the possible meanings of #selfdesign in a challenging production and distribution scenario through six podcasts and a bonus track. Learning from radical and embodied environments, inhabiting sweet resistance and vulnerability, unfolding economic structures that shape creative practices, navigating fictional narratives to question our roles in design education, liquifying gender, performing and exploring diasporic rhythms, melting in paradoxical realities.
Join us in this final recording!

PUBCAST: #SELFDESIGN
#SELFDESIGN is the first PUBcast Series commissioned by DROOG DESIGN.
For 12 weeks, an installation - part scenery, part recording studio and part audio display - will become the production and distribution platform for six podcasts. Creating a sound studio that considers the presence of the body, this production scenario developed by Fabulous Future serves as a decorated shed to research self design notions, where listening is also massaging, recording is relaxing, sharing is caring, watching is commenting, joining is embracing and editing is bonding.
Is self design connected to the neoliberal idea of self-care, entrepreneurship or to an actual reframing and liberation of design as a discipline?
PUBCast is a PUB initiated podcast series challenging the possibilities of audio distribution and publishing as a global communication tool through space and time.
PUB is a trans-department platform initiated by students of the Sandberg Instituut. PUB is a hub to identify interdisciplinary connections and accelerate collaborations amongst students and alumni.
