Radical Criticality is a project created for the Dutch Design Week (Eindhoven, NL), in collaboration with Onomatopee. It consisted in a five-day open workshop: passersby were invited to seat in a public mirror-based installation. They could interact and expose their thoughts about the selected theme of the day creating critical discussions. Each talk was recorded and printed into a publication alongside short essays and illustrations.
Being part of the project we collectively shared the duties of designing the publication (Riso-printed in Onomatopee), holding the workshop and writing the articles. Illustrations by Priscilla Suarez Bock.
Radical Criticality is the initiative of seven creative practitioners (Jeannette Petrik, Pablo Calderón Salazar, Zeno Franchini, Amelie Derveloy, Silvia Dini Modigliani, Christine van Meegen, Giovanni Pezzato) who contextualise 'Design' as the production of Everyday Politics. With 'Everyday Criticality' the initiative introduces itself and its methodology. As the project is set to evolve as a diverse platform for dialogical critique, this intervention within the framework of the Onomatopee 142 project ‘WE ARE THE MARKET!’ will provide an experimental ground for the further development of the project through Onomatopee. 'Everyday Criticality' will offer concentration and focus and intervene by offering performative collectivity.
