Call for Workshops

The ICDHS14 (10–12 October 2025, hosted at IIT Delhi, India) invites proposals for workshops that critically and creatively engage with the conference theme: Cultures of Design. Workshops are envisioned as temporary yet generative spaces where design is not only studied but actively performed, debated, and re-imagined. They offer participants the opportunity to experiment, co-produce knowledge, and reflect through multiple modes of engagement such as dialogue, making, performance, speculation, or critique. Unlike paper sessions, workshops foreground active encounters, enabling participants to experience design as a living, situated, and plural practice.
