Utrecht Manifest 2007 turns the spotlight and investigates the latest developments in the field of design through a socially engaged prism. The mainstays of the 2nd Biennale for Social Design  are research and reflection and an exhibition programme. The multidisciplinary approach adopted by Utrecht Manifest ensures there is ample consideration for related disciplines such as architecture, film and the visual arts, so that design is not treated as an autonomous, capsular discipline.
