For whom do we design? And who has actually access to the tools for making?
How can we combine accessibility with the evolving language of visual communication?
d*sign week is a festival for experimental and independent design. The 2025 edition features workshops, lectures and conversations on design tools, graphic software and autonomous printing and publishing processes. Its programme investigates how access, participation and inclusion can be values that guide the making.

The d*sign week is a project initiated by the local cultural platforms Potato Publishing and servus.at and organized in collaboration with Kunstuniversität Linz, Timebased Media & Visual Communication.

The current edition takes place 24th–30th November 2025.

Für wen gestalten wir? Wer hat Zugang zu den Gestaltungswerkzeugen? Wie können wir Zugänglichkeit mit der sich ständig weiterentwickelnden Sprache der visuellen Kommunikation kombinieren?

Die d*sign week ist ein Festival für experimentelles und unabhängiges Design. Die Ausgabe 2025 bietet Workshops und Gespräche zu Designwerkzeugen sowie zu autonomen Druck- und Veröffentlichungsprozessen. Das Programm untersucht, wie Zugang und Inklusion die Gestaltung begleiten können.

Die d*sign week wird von den unabhängigen Initiativen Potato Publishing und servus.at gemeinsam mit der Abteilungen Visuelle Kommunikation und Zeitbasierte Medien der Kunstuniversität Linz organisiert.
