In this engaging episode of the #DESIGNtoCHANGE podcast, Ruud Janssen conversed with XAV, a curator, experience designer, and artist mentor, about the transformative power of intentional design in events and exhibitions. XAV shared their unique approach to blending art, technology, and well-being, emphasizing the importance of crafting experiences that expand minds and spark inner shifts. The Hairitage Exhibition in Barcelona was a focal point, described as a micro laboratory of identity that used participatory installations, such as hair sample collection, to explore themes of belonging and inclusion. Sustainability considerations, including the ethical treatment of biological samples, emerged as areas for reflection and future improvement.
The Event Design Collective's Event Culture Analyzer tool was highlighted as a groundbreaking method to metrify intangible aspects of events. XAV's analysis of the Hairitage Exhibition revealed insights into inclusion, sustainability, and ethical considerations, while the Hairitage Magazine served as a cultural artifact extending the exhibition's impact beyond the gallery. The exhibition's high score on the Risk and Courage Index underscored its bold exploration of identity and inclusion, resonating deeply with personas such as students and next-gen creatives. XAV also discussed their work with the Artist Ally project, which prioritizes nurturing existing networks over expansion, and their involvement in the Gastronomy Summit, organized by the International Institute of Gastronomy, Arts, and Tourism. This summit celebrated heritage and drove policy change, aligning with XAV's commitment to fostering meaningful connections and driving transformation. The conversation concluded with reflections on the importance of courage, depth, and intentionality in creating impactful experiences, leaving listeners inspired to look and act beyond the now.
