Jörg Boner, Raffael Dörig and Susanna Koeberle

As part of the alternative programme of the Swiss Design Awards 2020, the two Federal Commission Presidents Jörg Boner (Design Commission, product designer) and Raffael Dörig (Art Commission, Head of Kunsthaus Langenthal) meet to discuss the current crisis and its significance in the two scenes. The exchange will be complemented by the experience of Regine Helbling (Board member Suisseculture Sociale, Managing Director Visarte), moderated by Susanna Koeberle (cultural journalist). There will be a discussion on the acceptance of the professions of art and design practitioners and the role of the commissions, which are already over a hundred years old.
