When people talk about design, it is often about form and function. Yet it is becoming increasingly clear: design has long been a political practice. The 2025 iphiGenia Gender Design Award, impressively demonstrates how designers see themselves as societal actors – as creators of social processes, power relations, and cultural narratives.
