SUMMARY:Design Austin | Design Minded: Joey Zeledón
DESCRIPTION:Design Austin is dedicated to celebrating the impact of design in our city and beyond through engaging events\, exhibitions\, and collaborations. Design Minded is an event series created in partnership with The Contemporary Austin. Join us on their downtown Moody Rooftop for inspiring film screenings\, thought-provoking talks\, and to meet other design-minded creatives. \nThis fall\, the series continues on Wednesday\, October 15 with a design talk by Joey Zeledón (he/they/she). They will explore the transformative nature of design through the lens of their personal experience as a trans designer. Drawing from nearly two decades as an industrial designer designing shoes\, furniture\, housewares\, tech and more\, Joey will examine how both design and trans identity involve iterative processes of expressing an authentic identity through visual and physical forms and challenge conventional boundaries\, creating new ways of engaging with the world. Joey will show how design is a universal language for navigating change and expressing our authentic selves through life and all its transitions. Design can help us make sense of ourselves\, no matter who we are or how we identify. \nThe AIA Austin LGTBQIA+ Alliance will join us for this event as our community partner and facilitate a Q&A following the talk. Meet the co-chairs Sarah Biesterveld and John Stenzel and learn about upcoming committee events. “Our mission is to preserve and celebrate queer space while supporting LGBTQIA+ designers in Austin and beyond. We aim to create a safe environment for conversation\, build community\, and foster diversity and inclusion within our profession and organization” \nSchedule for the evening: \n\n6:30P: Rooftop seating & bar opens\n7P: Design talk by Joey Zeledón\n7:30P-8:15P: Q&A facilitated by Sarah Biesterveld and John Stenzel\, co-chairs of AIA Austin LGTBQIA+ Alliance\n\nTickets include access to view the exhibitions on view\, complimentary drinks\, and admission to the rooftop event.

SUMMARY:Design Austin | Design Minded: PlayTime
DESCRIPTION:GET TICKETS\nStaged on the Moody Rooftop at The Contemporary Austin\, we are excited to host a film screening of PlayTime (1967) by Jacque Tati. The film is a gloriously choreographed\, nearly wordless comedy about confusion in an age of high technology and the alienation of modern architecture. The most ambitious of Tati’s films\, PlayTime had its 70mm debut in Paris in 1967\, after nearly three years of bank-breaking production. With every inch of its superwide frame crammed with hilarity and inventiveness\, PlayTime is a lasting record of a modern era tiptoeing on the edge of oblivion. \n\nDesign Minded is an event series created by Design Austin in partnership with The Contemporary Austin. Showcasing the talented work of architects\, designers\, and artists in Austin and beyond\, we hope you’ll join us for inspiring film screenings and thought-provoking talks and meet other design-minded creatives.
