In this conversation with RMIT Design Hub curator Kate Rhodes, Alice will discuss the role of design during a time of pandemic, the contribution designers can make to the COVID-19 relief effort now and in reconstructing lives in the future, and the development of her live Instagram project ‘Design Emergency’.
