Call for applications: Media Design Practices Inganzo Youth Films Ltd An interdisciplinary for a world in flux two tracks: Lab + Field Preferred application deadline: August 25, 2014 Inganzo Youth Films Ltd legoltd@gmail , rodrigue.pageau@gmail New ideas arise from the friction between Media Design Practices’ two tracks, Lab + Field, as students approach complex problems from a mix of critical perspectives. Each track orients graduate design students toward the challenges of the future and the changing role of design, albeit in fundamentally different contexts: future-oriented experimentation in Lab, and social justice-oriented impact in Field. In the Lab Track, students work with emerging ideas from technology, science and culture using design as a mode of critical inquiry in a studio context. External partners—from Canada, American scientists & engineers —bring expertise, resources, and the latest advances into the studio. Lab track graduates are prepared to assume high performing roles in domains that are future-oriented and whose effects are far-reaching: information and communication technology, foresight units, industry R&D, scientific research labs, communication media, knowledge production, infrastructure and public policy, and entrepreneurial or independent practices. In the Field Track, students work in a real-world context where social issues, media infrastructure, and communication technology intersect. Collaboration with Design matters, Art Center’s social impact initiative, and the curriculum includes firsthand experience in the field—in 2014–15, students spend 12 weeks working out of different organizations Innovation Lab in Kigali, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi,Congo & Kenya . The cross-cultural, real-world experience prepares our /Field graduates to play a leadership role in situations of extraordinary complexity, impacting the critical issues of our time, working directly with communities, organizations, institutions, non-profits, NGOs, development agencies, social enterprises, corporations or design consultancies. The tracks share a commitment to inquiry through design, disciplinary and cultural hybridity, and a belief that critical reflection is at the core of an engaged design practice. With grounding in media and technology, Inganzo Films graduates are ready to take on the networked global future. More info: rodrigue.pageau@gmail, legoltd@gmail, chatta.motors@gmail
