The project aims to create a space for discussion on the role of women in design. Although the exhibition narrative focuses on women, it is no coincidence that it is not women but objects that play a central role in the exhibition title. It is the everyday things that mirror social and economic change. They tell the story of how we live, think and what we surround ourselves with in our homes. They demonstrate innovative thinking, reveal design processes and approaches to production and craftsmanship.\u00a0Looking Through Objects\u00a0allows us to see it from the perspective of women working at the intersection of industrial design, collector\u2019s design, craft and art. The objects were selected without defining how they were made, assuming that design understood as everyday objects would best illustrate not only the changes, but also the here and now of Polish design.\n[gallery size=\"medium\" ids=\"17595,17591,17593\"]\nAbout the curators:\nAgnieszka Jacobson-Cielecka is a design curator with a background in visual arts.
