The proposed design workshops at the Gdynia Design Days 2023 festival focused on the search for identity and the creation of spaces of belonging. Throughout an intensive program, participants engaged in various activities, art, and reflection to create unique experiences.
The main objective of the workshops was to create a space that reflects the diversity of cultures and identities, to feel at home. By embracing diversity and collectively being different, participants learned to draw from the richness of different perspectives and experiences.
The nesting element of the workshops involved creating artifacts and spatial objects that were intended for "creating" or calming the workshop space. These artifacts reflected diverse themes such as multicultural identity, modernist architecture, the port city, migration, and diversity. They aimed to create a sense of peace and safety, which was crucial to the nesting theme.
The Nesting workshops were a valuable opportunity for participants to expand their knowledge, develop their creativity, and understand the role that art and design can play in creating inclusive and open spaces for diverse identities.
