The Stedelijk is mounting the exhibition and public program to create a platform to discuss how designers, architects and companies can have a meaningful impact on the lives of refugees. What works and what doesn’t? Does a design offer a feasible, workable solution, or is it a far-off utopian dream? 

MORE ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The exhibition Solution or Utopia? Design for Refugees is curated on two locations: along the Stedelijk Museum location, part of the exhibition is shown at Lola Lik, the breeding ground for artistic creation located at the asylum seekers center in the old Bijlmerbajes in Amsterdam. At the old Bijlmerbajes, design projects are presented that have been developed in cooperation with refugees. The Stedelijk Museum presents almost 50 recent initiatives designed to improve the temporary situations faced by refugees. One of the designers’ central challenges was to devise practical, real-life solutions. From clothing that can double as a tent, to improved signage in a refugee camp, and from linkable plastic floor sections for temporary shelters to a digital service that helps refugees navigate their new environment.
