Embassy of Health at DDW 23

‘The wealth in health’ showcases design examples that demonstrate which values lead towards health and how we can (re)value health as our greatest good. Together we experiment with a (visual) language to think beyond transactions and explore how centralising other, often immeasurable values lead to new solutions and routes towards health.

In the exhibition you will find inspiring visions on a possible future that make us think as well as applied concepts that are already making a difference in practice. Where do values like automation, perfection and efficiency take us? What does health look like when we approach it from the interaction with ourselves and our social, physical and mental environment? And what role do technology and our (informal) care network have in this?

We let go of economic thinking for a moment, look at it from a different perspective and make space for new values. A revaluation that revolves around healthy incentives, where health is put first and accessible to everyone in society.
