A timely conversation on absence, visibility, and the power of design to shape cultural narratives. Framed around the idea of the 'void', the historical and systemic gaps that have left many voices, bodies, and perspectives unseen. The discussion explores how design both reflects and challenges structures of exclusion. From material choices and scale to personal narrative and community practice, designer Simone Brewster, artist Joy Yamusangie, and architect Thomas Aquilina, chaired by Charlene Prempeh will consider how creative work can transform erasure into presence. The conversation moves from the intimate scale of the body to the public scale of objects, spaces, and institutions, asking who gets to take up space and how design can foster belonging. Rather than viewing voids only as loss, the panel reimagines them as openings for new forms, values, and ways of making and positioning design as a tool for representation, cultural visibility, and collective change. This is an unmissable event for designers, architects, makers, creatives, educators, curators and anyone engaging in themes of decolonisation, race, diaspora, and class. This conversation is part of the programme of PLATFORM, an annual display dedicated to showcasing contemporary design practice. In 2026, the second edition in the series presents the fascinating work of designer Simone Brewster curated by Displays Curator Hadeel Eltayeb.
