How design drives changes in society | Culture By Design | Ep 2 | ABC Australia #design #culture

Design has the power to bring people together, solve local challenges, and foster shared experiences. In Yogyakarta, Indonesia, we step into the world of celebrated visual artist Eko Nugroho, whose bold and expressive art challenges social norms and sparks important conversations.

In Semarang, the Micro Library Project is proving that good design can be a tool for social change. By creating beautifully designed, functional, and accessible community libraries, this initiative is raising literacy rates and inspiring the next generation of thinkers and dreamers.

Meanwhile, in Mumbai, an abandoned Ice Factory has been transformed into a thriving cultural hub by architect Kamal Malik and his children, Amrita and Arjun Malik. Inspired by the resilience of a banyan tree growing within its walls, they envisioned a space where creative minds can gather, exchange ideas, and showcase their work. This re-imagined structure is now a beacon of collaboration and artistic expression, proving that old spaces can find new purpose through visionary design.
