In this workshop, the students were invited to make totems expressing their desires and personal dreams, so that, during the Biennale, they could share them with the public in the form of a "temple of idols" and through strollabouts and performances. All of this should produce a sort of carnival where the designer becomes a cultural player and attachee individual wish is transformed into a collective wish.
Studiokargah
A creative studio founded in Tehran (Iran) in 2001 by Aria Kasaei and Peyman Pourhosein, Studiokargah considers design as a form of cultural activism and takes part a wide range of multidisciplinary activities, including collaborations with museums and foundations, the organisation of cultural events, curating exhibitions, as well as research and archiving work on the history of art and design in Iran. In an endeavour to foster international dialogue through art and design, it opened a second studio in Paris in 2023.
