We invite you to the Bratislava Design Week festival, which will take place from 16 – 20 October 2024 in 2 locations: the Prior OD on Kamenné Square and the Bratislava City Gallery.
BRATISLAVA DESIGN WEEK, THE CITY IS ALIVE WITH DESIGN! is the largest international contemporary design festival in Slovakia.
The theme of the festival is RELATIONSHIPS, which it pursues in a broader sense and through diverse design projects. Relationships are sometimes obvious and sometimes hidden. They can define us, move us forward and destroy us. They open doors and educate, they change us.
The main headquarters of the festival will be located in the Prior OD and on Stone Square in front of the Prior OD. On the second floor you will find a selection of personalities and works of contemporary European design (IT, FR, CH, CZ, AT, UA, PL, HU, NL) as well as works created directly for BADW under the curatorial concept of Damian Cehlárik. In addition, a large exhibition of works by designers, designers, design schools that were selected through OPEN CALL. Part of the programme will also take place on the Stone Square in front of the Priory
In the second headquarters, in the premises of the Bratislava City Gallery, the exhibition Expedition D will be presented, which will present works and collaborations in Slovak design in a variety of material and conceptual designs – Sylvia Jokelová and Jana Hojstričová, Vnem, Sebastian Komáček, Erika Remencova and IOKO, Sylvia Sukopová, Erik Vrábel, Lucia Židek Gamanová, Crafting Plastic! and others. In the Masters of Slovak Design BADW edition we will present the work of the bard of Slovak design Karol Weisslechner from the late 80s and 90s.
