Participate · Young Talents
Show which material world does not yet exist.
Young Talents are not a small version of a commercial exhibitor. Their role is different: asking new questions, challenging conventions and researching material, production and application from unexpected perspectives.
Curated, not optional
Selection must take place on editorial relevance to Matter of How and the built environment. The presentation may be experimental, but must have a clear relationship to material, process, application or restoration.
Matter of How for talent
Innovation does not always start with a solution. Sometimes it starts with the question why we build, produce or throw away that way at all. Young Talents keep that space open.
