California: Designing Freedom | touring exhibition

California has become a global centre of design. Picking up the story in the 1960s, the exhibition charts the journey from the counterculture to Silicon Valley’s tech culture.

What’s in the exhibition?

Its central idea is that California has pioneered tools of personal liberation, from LSD to skateboards and iPhones.

This ambitious survey brings together political posters, personal computers and self-driving cars but also looks beyond hardware to explore how user interface designers in the Bay Area are shaping some of our most common daily experiences. The exhibition reveals how this culture of design and technology has made us all Californians.
