Falling in Love with all Genders
international Gender Design Network e.V.
The international Gender Design Network e.V. (iGDN) warmly invites you to the Museum of Applied Arts in Frankfurt from June 9 to 11. Under the title “Falling in Love with All Genders,” iGDN explores how design can contribute to a fairer and more inclusive democratic coexistence—for women, for men, and for people of all genders.
A rich programme of talks and hands-on activities invites you to watch, listen, and take part yourself. Designers, medical professionals, and researchers will share insights on everyday life, the body, health, sports, and digital technology. A poster collection presents many forms of violence against women. A medical influencer, a young entrepreneur, and a design expert engage in a discussion on gender, design, and medicine. Students will report on their public campaigns and actions.
Everyone is welcome—families, school groups, students, and the simply curious. Experience firsthand how fair and inclusive design is created, how it works, and how it can make a real impact—through participation, reflection, and exchange.
The International Gender Design Network e.V. (iGDN) is an internationally oriented network that aims to make the significance of gender in design visible and advance it in research, teaching, and practice. Design shapes our living environment — and iGDN seeks to establish gender awareness as an active part of the design process, in order to prevent gender blindness and stereotypical role models. To achieve this, the network brings together designers, researchers, and institutions from around the world and promotes the exchange of knowledge, methods, and projects on gender-sensitive design.
iGDN is committed to promoting research, education, and public visibility of gender and design, initiating events, workshops, and exhibitions, and serving as a platform for international collaboration. Its goal is to recognize gender as a relevant factor in the design process and to anchor gender-sensitive, inclusive design in both theory and practice.
