We invite you to listen to a live recording of Design Stories Brussels, a panel discussion hosted at Design Museum Brussels on 23 January 2025, which explored the challenges and opportunities of curating around women in design.

The conversation was hosted by Disegno’s editor-in-chief Oli Stratford, and featured Agnieszka Jacobson-Cielecka and Gian Luca Amadei, the curators of Looking Through Objects, as well as Nina Serulus and Marjan Sterckx, co-curators of Design Museum Brussels’ exhibition Untold Stories – Women Designers in Belgium, 1880-1980.

Design Stories Brussels panel discussion was a springboard for the upcoming exhibition Looking Through Objects showing at the Design Museum Brussels between 9 May to 28 September 2025.

Looking Through Objects: Women in Contemporary Polish Design – a research project exploring women’s contribution to change through design and creative practices. The project includes a touring exhibition, lecture series, talks and interviews organized in different locations across Poland, UK, Belgium and the Baltics.
