Dialogwerkstatt: Falling in Love with all Genders

The iGDN Dialogue Workshop brings together international perspectives from the fields of design, research, medicine, education, and activism. Through lectures, book launches, a moderated panel discussion, and open conversations, the workshop highlights the diversity of gender design today: as a creative practice, a research perspective, a topic in design education, and a social responsibility.



The program spans a wide range of topics, from an introduction to gender design through education, the history of graphic design, digital systems, and AI, to gender-sensitive medicine, political activism, and the question of how gender can be taught in design. With contributions from Prof. Dr. Uta Brandes, Dr. Julia Pierzina, Prof. Dr. Petra Eisele, Prof. Dr. Isabel Naegele, Claudia Herling, Prof. Dr. Sabine Oertelt-Prigione, Catharina Dörr, and Prof. Dr. Griselda Flesler, as well as a panel of experts from design, medicine, branding, activism, and research, the event creates a space for exchange, networking, and new perspectives.

Starting at 6 p.m., a get-together invites participants to engage in informal conversation.

Get-together

The International Gender Design Network (iGDN) is an international nonprofit organization that brings together designers, researchers, educators, students, and practitioners from the fields of culture and design. The iGDN develops exchange formats, workshops, exhibitions, and the iphiGenia Gender Design Award to embed gender-sensitive approaches in theory, practice, and design education, avoid stereotypes, create visibility, and promote gender-equitable solutions.
