Dezeen has teamed up with Salone del Mobile to live stream a talk exploring the issues facing a new generation of graduate designers. Tune in here at 3:00pm Milan time.
The talk is part of Dezeen's collaboration with Salone del Mobile which will see a daily live stream of a panel discussion during Supersalone for its Open Talks series.
The first talk to kick off the programme is a panel discussion on design education and will include architectural historian Beatriz Colomina, curator Aric Chen and professor of Design and Social Inquiry at Parsons School of Design in New York Anthony Dunne.
The panel will discuss the Lost Graduation Show, an exhibition that showcases 170 design projects by students from 48 design schools worldwide, who graduated between 2020 and 2021, during the coronavirus pandemic.
Titled Who can say no to education?, the talk will be moderated by the show's curator and the head of Master Theory at ECAL in Lausanne, Anniina Koivu.
The panel will discuss the pressing topics and issues, explored by the students in the show, that are facing a new generation of designers.

This year's edition of Salone del Mobile, titled Supersalone, is curated by architect Stefano Boeri as a response to the coronavirus pandemic, which caused the cancellation of the 2020 edition.
Taking place in Milan in September rather than in its usual April slot, the special edition of the fair will feature products displayed on a series of parallel walls instead of in branded booths.
Salone del Mobile and parallel fuorisalone events will take place from 5-10 September 2021 in Milan. See Dezeen Events Guide for an up-to-date list of architecture and design events taking place around the world.
