'The 27th Sydney Design Week (2023) offers a platform to the critical research, industries, infrastructure and technologies that underpin design practice in our city, inviting plural perspectives from our local communities.

Titled Amodern, in response to an essay by French philosopher Bruno Latour (1947–2022), the program enlists six fields of enquiry; Eco Systems, Material Cultures, Communal Cities, Micro Cycles, Connected Threads and Photofields, to explore the complex and interconnected social and natural ecologies in which contemporary design operates.'
