Designing Togetherness: Sport by Design

As Los Angeles prepares for the 2028 Olympic Games, join Paris-based designer Gabriel Fontana in conversation with Frances Anderton for an evening on how design can redefine sport to foster inclusivity, empathy, solidarity, and accessibility.

Drawing on Gabriel’s acclaimed project Multiform—the first queer sport to enter MoMA’s collection—this conversation will explore how sport can be reshaped to reflect the values of today’s generation: mental well-being, fluid identity, and social justice. At a time when many sports remain largely unchanged since the first modern Olympics in 1896, they will discuss how design can challenge tradition and create more inclusive, relevant, and transformative experiences.

This event is co-curated by Villa Albertine and the Los Angeles Design Festival, with the support of Helms Design District.
