Anyone, regardless of profession or status, who has an interest in DesignInquiry’s topics is welcome to participate.
You can participate in two ways:
- attend a gathering in person to share your ideas on the topic, as a talk or discussion, a workshop, an exhibition, a field trip; we meet annually in Vinalhaven, Maine, and elsewhere nationally and internationally.
- contribute to our WORK by submitting an online essay, photograph, video, sound project, digital art, or typography. The only requirement for submitting to DesignInquiry is that the work must directly address or clearly respond to a specific topic
CONTRIBUTE work to >> FastForward >> and DesignCity: Berlin (and other topics)
DesignInquiry shares the outcomes of its theme-based gatherings to inform and inspire design practice across disciplines. We also welcome experiments, visual-and textual, works-in-process, finished essays, lost pages, work-you-never-did-anything-with, or undiscovered gems. DesignInquiry is a collaborative laboratory, a place to test ideas and present research. Contributions are invited on all DI topics, past and present and future. A participatory peer-review process vets all submissions in an editorial feedback loop. Send your proposal to info@old.designinquiry.net. New contributions are added to our WORK in February and September.
APPLY
Contact us and we will send you a questionnaire in which you may propose anything you think is appropriate to the topic.

We will contact you to indicate if your proposal has been accepted. ie fits the mix for the gathering. Participants will be accepted until the program fills. Apply early.
