Melody Gamba's schedule for The New Frame

Come experience the work of 19 trailblazing experience designers from around the world. The third cohort of the Experience Design Certificate Program has spent the past year reimagining death rituals, community action, creative processes, reproductive justice, and responses to climate catastrophe. These unique interactive projects span 1-on-1 performance, collaborative cooking games, portraiture experiences, and interactive installation. Each piece is an invitation to cross the threshold into a new way of experiencing the world.

Led by Odyssey Works, the internationally-acclaimed group which has expanded the notion of experience design and famously made performances for an audience of one for more than two decades, the artists and designers of The New Frame will invite you to rethink the possibilities of design.

Featuring work by: Natalie Whelan ● Kori Martodam ● Jackie Moy ● Marc Chun ● Christian Howard ● Bonnie Gregory ● Sparks ● Karmisha Reeb ● Tara Odorizzi ● Simon Lyshon ● Zainab Azhar ● Steven Boudreau ● Smadar Krampf ● Joel Grinke ● Chris Sallquist ● Letícia Schuelter de Lima ● Rodrigo Correia ● Sara Behbakht ● Joni Chan
