We want people to come join in with the debate. Having spoken a little to the debaters already, I know it's going to be a really fantastic series. All best, Michelle DEBATE 1 <http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/events/20587> Moderated by Design and Violence co-curator Paola Antonelli, the first debate centers upon *The Liberator*, the world's first 3-D printed gun. The gun's designer *Cody Wilson* and author and journalist *Rob Walker*, (*Yahoo Tech, The New York Times, Design Observer, Slate*) will deliver debate motions, after which will follow a discussion focused on open-source design, the limits of gun laws and rights, and our assumptions about the ethics of design. DEBATE 2 <http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/events/20610> The second debate focuses on the *Menstruation Machine* (2010), designed by Sputniko! (aka Hiromi Ozaki) to allow its wearer to experience the pain and tribulation of menstruation, regardless of his or her age or gender. *Chris Bobel* (author, *New Blood: Third-wave Feminism and the Politics of Menstruation*) and *Mickey Boardman *, (Editorial Director, *Paper* magazine) will deliver debate motions, moderated by Jamer Hunt. DEBATE 3 <http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/events/20611> The third debate will center upon *Temple Grandin's "serpentine ramp," *a slaughterhouse design modification that attempts stress reduction and a more humane death for animals. *Professor Gary L. Francione* (Distinguished Professor of Law, Rutgers, and author, *Eat Like You Care: An Examination of the Morality of Eating Animals*) and *Nicola Twilley* (editor/author of Edible Geography.com, co-founder of the Foodprint Project, and director of Studio-X NYC) will deliver debate motions, moderated by Design and Violence co-curator Paola Antonelli. *Design and Violence* <http://designandviolence.moma.org/> is an ongoing online curatorial experiment that explores the manifestations of violence in contemporary society by pairing critical thinkers with examples of challenging design work. Contributors' weekly essays have been published since November 2013, creating a body of opinion and a set of case studies that spark discussion and bring the ambiguous relationship between design and violence to center stage for designers and the people they serve--all of us. *Design and Violence* is organized by Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, MoMA; Jamer Hunt, Director, graduate program in Transdisciplinary Design, Parsons The New School for Design; and Michelle Millar Fisher, Exhibition Coordinator, Department of Architecture and Design, MoMA. -- Michelle Millar Fisher Exhibition Coordinator, Architecture + Design The Museum of Modern Art 11 W 53 Street New York, New York 10019 p (212) 708-9563 ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
