About Making Now
"Making Now celebrates the designers, doers and thinkers who are defining the cultural moment in Sydney and across NSW. As the parameters of ‘design’ expand beyond the concept of the singular genius enshrined by the modernist tradition, SDW2022 explores collaboration and cross-pollination between established and emerging creatives and across disciplines."
– Stephen Todd, Sydney Design Week Creative Director.
