India, October 2024: Godrej Design Lab, part of the Godrej Enterprises Group, is back with the second edition of Conscious Collective, to be hosted from 13th to 15th December 2024, in Mumbai. Conscious Collective 2024 will gather thought leaders, innovators, and change-makers for a weekend filled with thought-provoking conversations, interactive workshops, immersive experiences, inspiring book reading sessions, retail and a reflective film screening segment, aimed at addressing some of the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges.
This year’s theme, “Bridging Horizons for a Sustainable Future,” emphasizes the importance of fostering connections across diverse communities, disciplines, and perspectives. Godrej Design Lab, in collaboration with the Council on Energy, Environment, and Water (CEEW), has undertaken a study on the critical role of sustainability in the built environment and the impact of urban surroundings on our everyday experiences in cities. The various segments of the platform will reflect this study, encouraging guests to rethink their lifestyle choices, particularly in relation to urban living. Conscious Collective will host over 20 unique installations curated by architects, designers and students from the creative field.
Conscious Collective 2024 will feature prominent thought leaders from around the globe, including Kai-Uwe Bergmann, Sanjay Puri, Veerendra Wakhaloo, Chithra Viswanath, Ayaz Basrai, and many others, who will share their expertise and inspiring innovative design approaches to real-world issues. Media veterans, Pramiti Madhavji and Sonia Bajaj have curated the conversation segment at Conscious Collective. To register for the showcase and conversations, visit consciouscollective.in
