LCC x LDF 2020: NEW AGENCY - INSTAGRAM CONFERENCE

What new-found agency do we have in times of crisis? What are the new frameworks, practical realities and ethics of creative practice now, and what are the futures made possible by the global 'reset' which is currently underway?

Together with industry leaders, current students from the Diploma in Professional Studies will debate, investigate and celebrate this new sense of agency and give voice to the generation that is now shaping our future. What can we all learn from those who know no other professional practice than that which has been born of creative resilience in the face of extreme adversity? 

During London Design Festival 2020, New Agency, an online publication and Instagram Public Program will go live featuring a virtual publication launch, live conversations, streamed content and interactive interventions. 

Featuring interviews throughout the day with Anthony Burrill, Sandy Kaltenborn, Emily Gosling, Tom Tapper (Founder - Nice & Serious), Pali Palavathanan (Founder + Creative Director, TEMPLO), and more.
