Museum Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt Examines Design as Tool of Liberation or Oppression

From May 14 to June 28, 2026, the Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt will showcase an exhibition called 'Positions on Freedom. Design and Its Boundaries.' This event delves into the complex role of design, exploring whether it enhances freedom or imposes limits, as suggested by its title. The exhibition is divided into three parts: a group show resulting from an open call in collaboration with the museum, unique pieces created by selected designers (fellows), and a publication featuring theoretical essays and discussions. It aims to highlight how designers create objects that not only offer solutions but also influence norms and sometimes lead to exclusions.
