IED Muses

Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) launches the second season of IED MUSES Talks: Decoding Inspirational Minds, a series of revealing one-on-one sessions with leading creatives in a bid to decode their inspirational minds, now available nationwide.

Designed in collaboration with curator Irem Erkin, IED MUSES Talks is a dynamic platform for artistic inspiration and knowledge sharing, revealing the stories behind the careers and creative processes of professionals from various disciplines. In this second season, it expands its scope by scheduling three talks at the IED Barcelona campus, one at IED Madrid, and another at IED Kunsthal Bilbao.

Five talks with pioneering voices that will connect and engage attendees, unveiling their successes, opportunities and twists, projects, and sources of inspiration in a stimulating dialogue, guided by geniuses. The sessions will address topics related to art, advanced technology, transformative future trends, creative direction, social and ethical issues, and sustainability, with the aim of breaking down stereotypes and positioning IED as a hub of creativity and innovation at the forefront of design.

Renowned artist Quayola; designer, art director, and editor and founder of Apartamento Omar Sosa; architect and cultural manager, co-founder and director of FarmLab in Austria Silvia Brandi; or Albert Folch, graphic designer and creative director, are some of the names that will participate in the talks.
