Curated by Clara Brito and Manuel C S A MIRAGE is by definition an optical phenomenon and the origin of the word comes from the latin mirare, meaning “to look at, to wonder at”. Macau is a city of constant change and frantic development, no landscape is the same for too long and as designers we wonder about its future. Designers in Macau are working to answer to theirs city communities expectations and “wonders”. Design as the discipline that foresees the development of multidisciplinary systems and methods by blending processes and creating new networks aiming for innovation, productivity and sustainability. The group of professionals, institutions and events represented in this exhibition are part of a new way of dealing with the creative industries, in a local dimension but also designing “NEW MIRAGES” for a new era of Asian creative development.
