Picks of the month: design events to catch in June
The annual Birmingham Design Festival will take over the city center for three days this month, with the theme of freedom at its heart. There will be 60 free talks to attend, followed by three evening events, plus a wide selection of workshops. The line-up, which includes 80 speakers from the graphic, digital, product, and illustration sectors, is all part of the festival team's pledge to “connect designers to people that matter”.
BDF Directors Luke Tonge and Dan Alcorn say, "We can't wait to welcome more amazing speakers to Brum and to provide an accessible event for the creative community."
Speakers include video designer and creative director Kate Dawkins, Dixon Baxi co-founder Aporva Baxi and Design Council chief design officer Cat Drew.
Expect plenty of discussion around creative freedom in the industry, as well as a variety of hands-on workshops.
Birmingham Design Festival is held across various locations across the city, from 9-11 June. For more information visit the festival website .
