Fremantle is home to a vibrant community of talented designers. Through the work of practitioners who live and create in the port city, DesignFreo | Object, Space, Place looks at the tangible and intangible ways that design shapes our experiences.

Design is everywhere and we all make design decisions every day – what to wear, what to buy, where we live and how to get from A to B. In this sense we are all designers. What is the legacy of our design decisions? What values are embedded in the things that surround us? And how are both informed by location?

In a year of pandemic these questions have been brought into even sharper focus. There has never been a more pressing time examine the way we live, and to look locally for the things that sustain us as individuals and a community.

The show includes a typographic treasure hunt for kids, and a map takes you out of the gallery into the city to see Fremantle through a design lens.
