Hope ~ Reclaiming the Future

 This year’s By Design and by Disaster Conference (DDCON) explores hope not as a passive wish or blind optimism, but as a collective, grounded, and empowering practice. In the face of ecological collapse, social injustice, and political crises, we ask: how can we reclaim the future through design, art, activism, and community?

From 8–10 May 2025 in South Tyrol, we’ll gather for three days of talks, workshops, shared meals, and conversations that nourish a deep sense of connection and purpose. Together, we’ll explore practices and visions that resist despair and open pathways toward solidarity, transformation, and new ways of living.

DDCon25 is an invitation to co-create real utopias—spaces of hope, care, resistance, and renewal. Let’s come together to make hope a lived and shared reality.

Stay tuned for the announcement of the speaker lineup and workshop program in the next couple of days & register until the 28th of April with the following link: https://www.conftool.com/hope2025/
