Saint Étienne Biennale, France

ShiftSpace is a café, meeting place and shared workspace for participants and visitors to the Saint Étienne Design Biennale. Situated in the Manufacture courtyard, at the Saint Étienne Biennale, ShiftSpace is proposed by Creative Many Michigan and designed by LAAVU to be the venue for a series of encounters and discussions, as well as workshops and events as part of the official program, on the theme: Universal Basic. This series will intentionally explore the way the interconnected worlds of design, technology, politics and economics are able to produce results that benefit everyone. Universal Basic is based on a profound curiosity about what could be called the non-exceptional future, inviting visitors to adopt speculative visions and expressions about tomorrow’s world of work.

ShiftSpace features Detroit-based designers, artists and food entrepreneurs including work by:
