Void

 An alternative layer to a Manchester Design Festival.

Working alongside a daytime festival, VOID is a design festival taking part at night. Creating an alternate Manchester within the darkness.

VOID will not promote specific events or reveal content prior to the start of the festival. But rather, reveal snapshots of what might be to come, through promotional material. Working with the idea that VOID will seem like an empty blank space until the night reveals all.

VOID is concerned with regeneration of non-spaces within Manchester through the experience of the people rather than tangible redevelopment.

VOID considers intangible design through sensory experience and interaction rather than design of commodity or product.

Exploring the limits of what can be experienced through the heightening of senses. VOID creats a space detached from everyday distractions and allows the audience to simply experience their senses. Encouraging interaction with each other but also creating areas for sole reflection.

We are VOID. A night time design festival.

Not reflecting on the past or concerning the future but experiencing the now.
