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, they also propose or realise 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 represent as artists or designers? 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!
