Tiipoi Talks for London Design Festival 2019 include speakers Ruohong Wu and Sam Jacob, and are co-curated by Manijeh Verghese

Tiipoi Talks is a talks programme curated by Manijeh Verghese (Head of Public Programme at the Architectural Association) and Spandana Gopal (Founder of Tiipoi). For LDF’19, they have invited Debika Ray, founder of Clove magazine, to co-curate the talks @ Delfina Foundation.

The programme aims to start new conversations and encourage a deeper and more critical way of asking questions around contemporary creative practice. It brings together designers, artists, architects and cultural commentators with a view to debate the power of objects, crafts-based practice and the role of context in shaping projects and ideas. By inviting a diverse set of practitioners, we hope to situate these discussions within a more inclusive reading of history and the disciplinary canon we operate within. Through a cross-pollination of different forms of practice and backgrounds, the talks hope to bring to the foreground a more rigorous dialogue around making and sharing work in a changing London.

Wednesday 18 September, 5.00pm – 8.00pm, Delfina Foundation, 29/31 Catherine Place, SW1E 6DY
