11 June 2009Cynthia E. Smith, a curator at New York's Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum, discuss the exhibition 'Design for the Other 90%'.
Industrial designer and social activist Cynthia E. Smith curated the exhibition Design for the other 90% at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York. Smith was inspired by a personal desire to make a difference as a designer. In this interview with Powerhouse Museum Curator of Product Design Angelique Hutchison, Smith discuss the efforts of passionate, like-minded designers, engineers, students, professors, architects, and social entrepreneurs from all over the globe who are turning their attention to the disenfranchised majority; the 90% of the world's population who don't even have regular access to food, clean water, or shelter, let alone the sleek and seductive designer luxury items we take for granted.
