Conway and Young
About Practice:
We are Jen Conway and Jessie Young; we work in collaboration with each other and others.
We use graphic design as a tool for communication and as a method for collaborative inquiry; to generate interdisciplinary research and as a catalyst for interaction, debate and exchange.
We explore ideas about culture, learning, society, politics and the co-production of space, with a focus on people and the conditions in which the design exists; local and universal. Work ranges from printed pamphlets and posters to interactive events, walks and workshops.
About MA Research:
Our MA practice based Research investigates the changing idea of design and the designer, in particular how design as a catalyst for social cultural and political change might; envision different futures in relation to key societal questions, including how we will care for people in the future.
Free For All asks: What might a future without a public health service look and feel like? Join us in freely imagining this... THE YEAR IS 2078 AND THE NHS NO LONGER EXISTS.

Free For All is exhibited as a work in progress in the form of an interactive project space at the Manchester School of Art; in the first city to open an NHS hospital in 1948, also the location of the 2013 Conservative Party Conference and a National Save the NHS Rally, both taking place during September.
