DESCRIPTION:Marisa Yiu \nSUPERONDA TALK N°1 \nPOLITICS OF KINDNESS\n\nS
 uperonda Talks is a lecture series organised each semester by a laboratory
  at EPFL Architecture to open up discussion on a particular research theme
  in order to deepen our field of knowledge and to create dialogue amongst 
 the academic community\, professionals and design enthusiasts.\n\nFor this
  series\, Superonda intends to address the issue of political attitudes in
  design by inviting a series of beautifully yet seriously engaged guests u
 nder the borrowed title of POLITICS OF KINDNESS. Recognisably\, this titl
 e is freely taken from Jacinda Ardern’s speech at the UN in September 20
 18\, calling for a paradigm change when invoking kindness as a political t
 ool.\n\nMARISA YIU\, DESIGN TRUST \n\nConceptualized by Marisa Yiu\, Co-f
 ounder\, Executive Director of Design Trust\, an initiative of the registe
 red charity Hong Kong Ambassadors of Design that was founded 2007\, she wi
 ll share on Design Trust Futures Studio latest programme updates. Launched
  in 2017\, advocating for the positive values of design in the role for sh
 aping a better Hong Kong and the region we live in\, Design Trust Futures 
 Studio (DTFS) is a long‐term flagship programme that makes visible the p
 rocesses and positive role of design in the culture of contemporary design
  and production. The programme stems from a project‐studio concept that 
 promotes life‐long collaborations through a mentor‐mentee programme. E
 xperts from different fields will contribute to the mentor‐mentee teams 
 in the exploration of materials\, production\, and put forth the positive 
 value of design of public spaces in Hong Kong\, the Greater Bay Area and i
 nternationally.
