Within the framework of Disseny Hub Barcelona, a captivating and enlightening show is taking place to highlight the fundamental and often underestimated role of women in the evolution of design. The exhibition “Here we are! Women in Design. 1900 – Today” is an ode to innovation, creativity and above all, to the narrative that has long been in the shadows.
The event, a production of the Vitra Design Museum of Weil am Rhein in Germany, in collaboration with DHUB, seeks not only to highlight the great female artists of the 20th century, but also to uncover those narratives and contributions that have remained overshadowed by the male preponderance in the field of design.
The rich exhibition spans a wide range of disciplines from furniture, lighting, graphic design, jewelry to ceramics, revealing both iconic pieces and lesser-known works.
One of the pillars of this exhibition is its critical and analytical approach to the patriarchal structures present in the history of design, highlighting the need to rethink and reconstruct historical narratives to include and honor diversity and female contributions.

Beyond the works, the exhibition is a cauldron of additional activities aimed at immersing oneself in the essence of contemporary design. Colloquiums with designers, professional days, a research laboratory involving university students and a community project enrich the event.
This is a call to immerse yourself in a world of learning and discovery about the role and importance of design in today’s society.
The exhibition is designed to trigger reflections on the current perception and definition of design and its relevance in modern society. It offers visitors the opportunity to witness the evolution of design from a more inclusive and equitable perspective.
This captivating experience will be available to design enthusiasts until January 7, 2024. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be part of an event that celebrates diversity, creativity and the female legacy in the world of design.
