In connection with our exhibition Inner Child – Playing with Design, we also offer a book with the same title by internationally renowned trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort and curator Philip Fimmano.
The inner child is both a mental and metaphorical notion representing the subconscious, childlike aspects of an adult’s personality, emotions and memories. Reconnecting with our inner child is also a contemporary coping mechanism to survive today’s climate of conflict and aggression, favouring a kinder, more empathetic way of life.
By exploring the limitless possibilities of artistic expression, this groundbreaking design book reminds us of the importance of remaining a kidult, bringing together more than one hundred established and emerging creatives while offering an uplifting dose of hope. A playful storybook that unfolds through multiple voices and perspectives to celebrate joyful optimism, naïve simplicity and pure imagination.
