Mayor’s Message
DRAFT
Cr Stephanie Asher As Australia’s only UNESCO City Of Design, Greater Geelong is
Mayor, City of Greater Geelong determined to continue to take a clever and creative approach as we
design our city for the future.
Design can influence so many areas: how our city looks, how we
care for our environment, and even our cultural identity. It can also
generate great business ideas.
Geelong Design Week gives us a unique opportunity to share clever
ideas, explore design thinking and stimulate creativity.
The 2021 program features more than 60 events, many of them
presented by local design experts as well as local
community organisations.
Thank you to everyone involved in putting the week together, and to
all attendees – I hope you enjoy!

Week 2021
DRAFT
The City of Greater Geelong is proud
to present Geelong Design Week -
a celebration of creativity and our
city’s recognition as Australia’s only
UNESCO City of Design.
Geelong Design Week 5
Message from our
curatorial team
Disruption and upheaval are fuel for creativity.
Over the last year we have learned to work with disruption, learn
from it, adapt to it and use it to create solutions for challenges we
would never have imagined before.
This inspired us to choose Unpredictable as the theme for Geelong
Design Week 2021. We want to show how design can turn barriers
into gateways, turn obstacles into building blocks, and turn
challenges into opportunities.
DRAFT
With more than 60 events presented by an outstanding group of
organisations, people and community groups, Geelong Design Week
2021 invites us to open our minds and imagine a more resilient, more
sustainable, more creative future for our community.
We hope you enjoy it.
