There's definitely a lot here—but I'd argue that the "strange situation in which young designers are situated between activism, performative gesture and a residual urge to create" is exactly because they recognise that design as only "a tool to improve lives" was a naïve approach to "social purpose"

At our symposium We Dream in Futures and the Design Futures Forum, Liam spoke with urgency about why he makes these works.
He reminds us that world-building is not just an artistic gesture - it is a political, ethical, and environmental act. The futures we imagine shape the future we make.
