Design Democracy 2025: Hyderabad's Global Design Renaissance

Hyderabad, India's HITEX Exhibition Centre hosted Design Democracy 2025, a groundbreaking design festival that redefined Hyderabad as a pivotal point on the global design stage. Across three days, the event melded innovation with tradition, creating a vibrant tapestry of ideas and experiences.

Key features included four major installations. 'Stone and Shade' by Supraja Rao explored ecological shelter, while Farah Ahmed Mathias' 'Precious Objects' turned rarity into emotional resonance. The 'Gallery of Sustainability' tackled culture and ecology, and Nuru Karim's sculptural 'FLOW' walkway merged light with shadow.

Beyond the exhibits, the two-day DD Talks summit brought forth vibrant discussions on urbanism, sustainability, and innovation. Sponsored by The Charcoal Project and companies like Asian Paints, the festival transcended being merely an event, becoming a movement that positions Hyderabad as India's creative hub.
