Hi, you can finally listen to this podcast with one of the most influential graphic designers working today. ☝🏾link in bio
———
This is a very special episode for me. Firstly, because of my guest, a great reference for me as a designer. Second, because it wasn't planned. Let me explain: earlier this year I was invited to curate a project called Voices From the Atelier for the Porto Design Biennale. It consisted of the definition of 6 themes for which I invited designers to speak. In this context, I was pleased to receive Paul Sahre's words on the subject of Memory.
What started out as a very objective conversation, about a very specific topic, quickly turned into something that is impossible not to share.
Instead of spending 20 minutes chatting, we had to interrupt after 1:30 talking about design and the life of a designer.
Paul Sahre is a graphic designer, illustrator and author from New York City and New Jersey. He is a frequent visual contributor to the New York Times, has designed several book covers and has built and destroyed a life-size monster truck hearse made entirely of cardboard and Epson prints for the band They Might be Giants.

I feel like stealing Magritte and saying that, with a dose of surrealism, this is not an interview. It's a conversation between two people who love what they do and who share a special taste for guitars. This is, in fact, where this conversation begins.

Alice Grandoit + Paul Sahre 💥

☝🏾link in bio

I’m extremely happy to share the 5th episode of this series I’m curating for the . Memory is the main subject of the conversation I had with Alice Grandoit and Paul Sahre. After the biennale I will publish the talk with in full, only a few editing needed. It’s more than one hour full of pure and true reflections on graphic design and what it means to be a designer today.

Speaking of today, it’s about MEMORY. Memory is directly linked to imagination. We are shaped by the memory of ancient practices, habits and modes of living. Facing a dark scenario regarding what living in our cities might be in a very near future, many people are looking back at old practices and also moving to rural environments. Design is based on memories, whether visual, physical, ethnographic and cultural. It has been an important tool in the assertion of identities but also, we must not ignore the role that design has played in sustaining civilizational models where justice is anything but blind. Hope you enjoy this podcast with these two wonderful guests as much as I did speaking to them.

Throughout the next few months I will talk to the curators who are conceiving and building the dedicated to alter-realities.

In this episode I had the pleasure to have Sam Baron answering to my questions about him and his involvement with the Porto Design Biennale 2021.

Baron, who was selected by Philippe Starck as one of ten most important designers for the next decade, has been living between Portugal and France. This awarded designer’s practice has been around the questioning of the utility of today’s material productions and the very existence of new archetypes.

Sam Baron talks about his process and shares his visions on the role of design today as well as the idea behind the curatorship for the Porto Design Biennale 2021 along with Caroline Naphegyi.

One more episode of the collaboration between Sumo and the Porto Design Biennale 2021. Throughout the next few months I will talk to the curators who are conceiving and building this biennale dedicated to alter-realities.

In this episode I speak to Caroline Naphegyi.

Since the year 2000, Caroline has been involved in design projects, especially in France, where she lives. Her background is fully committed to the field of design with projects like Tomorrowland or the non-profit organization Design For Change. More recently she was appointed program director of Lille World Design Capital 2020. Throughout this episode, Caroline tells us about her involvement with the design world. She also shares her visions on the role of design today as well as the idea behind the curatorship for the Porto Design Biennale 2021 along with Sam Baron.

Porto Design Biennale 2021
Alastair Fuad-Luke pt #1
www.sumo-podcast.com
Hoje dou início a uma série de conversas que nascem de uma “fusão” Sumo + 2021. Ao longo dos próximos meses vou publicar conversas com os curadores da PDB. Sendo a nacionalidade dos convidados diversa, vi-me obrigado a assumir o inglês como língua oficial para esta série.
O primeiro episódio é com o curador principal da PDB, Alastair Fuad-luke. Uma personagem bem curiosa com muito para partilhar. Espero que gostem desta roupa nova.
Beijos e abraços
Welcome to this new episode of Sumo: the first one entirely in English, because this is a series that came about from a partnership between Sumo and Porto-Design Biennale 2021. Throughout the next few months I will talk to the curators who are conceiving and building this biennale dedicated to alter-realities. I begin this new series with the main curator, a fascinating character called Alastair Fuad-Luke. A facilitator, educator, and researcher, whose life has been devoted to thinking and applying design to a better, more balanced, more sustainable world. Alastair has in fact published several books on this subject, such as Design Activism in 2009 or The Eco-design Handbook in 2002. In our conversation, which will be released in two parts, we talk about the life and thought of this activist, born in the North of England. Among many very pertinent ideas, I kept a specific one, which I find to be most revealing about this entire biennale of 2021: If you design the present, you actually change the future.
I hope you enjoy the first part of our talk. In a week’s time I will release the 2nd part. Good listening!
