About Beyond Social

Beyond Social is a magazine that offers a platform for challenging and engaging design and art practices. It is a research and publishing tool for designers, artists and students who have a desire to have a transformative impact on society. Accordingly, their practices do not only focus on the development of 'good' pieces of art or design but, at the same time, they propose or realize alternative systems, procedures and processes.

What does it take for artists and designers to deal with today's societal challenges? What different strategies and concepts can we use? What are inspiring examples and what are great failures? And, if we need to collaborate with stakeholders, then how can we maintain our autonomous position? What expertise and added value do we as artists or designers represent? What and how, in fact, do we DESIGN as social designers?

Let's find out together; Beyond Social connects contributers by a wiki. In this way it becomes an open and collaborative platform. If you want to contribute, feel welcome and send us an email!
