Walker Art Center Launches Inaugural Design Triennial 'Beyond Materialism'
The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis is set to kick off its first-ever design triennial, titled 'Beyond Materialism,' on October 17.

It will feature about 50 works from 26 designers and collectives across 10+ countries, including Austria, Belgium, and Nigeria. Among them, seven designers are showcasing their work in the US for the first time, like Espace Aygo and Stef Fusani.
