Welcome to 9 weeks of Cornish creativity and ingenuity, featuring a multi-site exhibition at 14 locations across Cornwall, a design summit for businesses at Eden and numerous events by University College Falmouth, Tate St Ives, Falmouth Art Gallery and untold others. This is an exploration into how great design and creative solutions can bring about lasting benefits for the people of Cornwall.
The spine to the season is a show of surprising “design stories”. These stories will be exhibited in iconic shipping containers throughout Cornwall. They’ve all been nominated by people from the world of design, culture and academia, then interpreted as an installation by local designers and artists. Each story has changed something, be it a mind, a moment, a town, or maybe even the world. Some are humbling, some are astonishing, some are both.
You’ll find containers in dunes and towns, on piers and bike trails. Catch one near you and hear where titanium was first found, or how some engineers in Penryn built a robot for NASA. Go to the CDS website here.
