ZAYD MINTY: WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL
Cape Town has been declared the World Design Capital for 2014, a project that celebrates the accomplishments of cities that have used design as a tool to reinvent themselves and improve social, cultural and economic life.
Zayd Minty, Creative Cape Town co-ordinator, was intimately involved with Cape Town’s winning bid, from facilitating meeting with stakeholder agencies to writing key elements of the official bid document. He will talk on "World Design Capital 2014: A lens to collectively reimaging and reinvent Cape Town" and give an insider’s view of the gruelling bid process as well as a perspective on what the award means for the Mother City.
He will also bring a copy of the official 465-page bid book that was presented to the International Council for Societies of Industrial Design, with the theme "Live Design. Transform Life."
