Tulum Design Festival

We will plant the seed of water of the future together with the children in Tulum. Our team and partners have designed a 6 week programme where the children from Ladle will create an installation called “imagine the future” to present to us at the opening of DWT. For us this is the foundation of our festival and the most important aspect of changing the future. Together we will design a programme that can be replicated for all children in the area and Mexico to become young bio designers from an early age to ensure they are empowered to create their future. The children of today will be the stewards of the DWT festival in the next 10 years. And their children bringing their insights and knowledge will be key to the sustainability of our festival. We have a 100 year vision - and aim to create a blueprint for sustainable design festivals worldwide. #seedthefuture #createthefuturewithus #graciasagua #tulumdesignfestival

Our theme for design week is “water of the future”. Not a question, but a statement. We need to define in our areas, cities and livelihoods what the water of the future is and design for that. Read more here https://lnkd.in/gQsAxP_6

We focus on environmental , social and humanitarian design and it spans across architecture, interior design, urban planning and material design. Driven by the belief that the world is in great need of change we are enthusiastic to bring design minds together to create a positive influence. Therefore we are designing a festival in Tulum to design a better future for all. We have a 100 year plan with the children of the area firmly rooted at the centre of everything we are doing.

We are creating Tulum Design Festival for the first time in Tulum that will become a flagship sustainable design event globally. It's a gathering of diverse minds to focus on WATER OF THE FUTURE through a symposium. This year in 2024 we are planting the seed of what it will become playing with depth, creativity, format, content and production. All guests are hand selected and within our communities to keep the conversations deep and meaningful with aligned minds and open hearts for reimagining and redesigning and action. The attendees are designers, architects, developers, product designers, Mayan artists and designers, investors, corporates, Tulum business owners and local organizations. All aligned to create a better sustainable future in Tulum, mexico and the world. The theme is “water of the future” because it’s a very important topic to discuss and answer for the sake of future generations. Water is a core area of focus in the area as the rapid development can and will impact the environment, sensitive cenote underground system, the lagoons, the rivers, the ocean. If we can create a water protection programme for the area with a water supply system , we can build a water system for other areas to use as a blueprint. The main hub will be Casa Ki Design House which is the exhibition space for designers and experience hub for guests and artists. Let’s change the narrative. Let’s change the future.
