Within the framework of the exhibition BETTER by Stefan Sagmeister, a dialogue will take place that proposes an inspiring encounter between design and information. This collection, recognized for its innovative fusion of art and data, arrives at a time of great global challenges. In this context, the conference offers a space to reflect on how, despite current difficulties, human progress remains a constant when analyzed with perspective.
Sagmeister draws on data from trusted sources, such as the UN, to create visualizations that turn statistics into accessible and engaging narratives. Throughout the conference, we will explore how BETTER—with pieces ranging from reinterpretations of ancient paintings to interventions in clothing and eyewear—offers a hopeful and grounded vision of the advancement of humanity.
Admission is free, upon reservation.
