Melbourne Design Week presents: 
All You Do

Unassigned Gallery
24 May - 27 May 2024

All You Do is a four-day exhibition presented by Unassigned Gallery. Bringing together a selection of queer and people-of-colour (POC) designers and artists, the exhibition investigates the intersection between art, design, and ethics, while shining light on the role art and design has in community care and social change.

All You Do meditates on the impact of queer and POC voices in sustainable ecologies and practices, exploring the intersections between sustainability and queer expression. All You Do considers how queer and POC identities and relationships impact upon ecological systems through a series of installations, amplifying these voices in the ongoing environmental conservation.

In discussions of ecology and sustainability, so often it is the voices of politicians and scientists that we hear, which are predominantly white, predominantly straight, and predominantly upper class. Through this exhibition, the artists and designers open up a different kind of discussion, harnessing the strength and resilience of marginalised communities to answer the question: What could a sustainable future look like?
