Design It Yourself adalah satu rangkaian acara desain yang digelar selama bulan Oktober 2011 di C2O Library & Collabtive untuk membahas desain di Surabaya. Dalam acara ini, kami mengajak berbagai pihak, mulai dari komunitas kecil, praktisi bisnis, dan akademisi yang berkaitan dengan desain, terutama di Surabaya, untuk bersama-sama mengintrospeksi diri dan berbagi cerita mengenai situasi kondisi masing-masing dalam satu forum sharing & presentasi. Berbagai disiplin desain diulas di sini, mulai dari pengantar desain, tipografi, bisnis dan manajemen desain, fashion, branding, digital media design, komik, urban art, hingga urban planning dalam bentuk diskusi santai dan pemutaran film yang berkaitan.

Meskipun merupakan kota terbesar kedua di Indonesia, Surabaya tidak masuk dalam jajaran kota yang disiapkan menjadi kota kreatif di peta nasional. Memang, kota besar bukan berarti secara otomatis adalah kota kreatif. Malah, dalam kasus Surabaya, banyak yang berpendapat bahwa kreatifitas dan kegiatan-kegiatan yang tidak berkaitan langsung dengan industri ataupun perdagangan, tidak mendapatkan ruang ataupun apresiasi di sini. “Kota dagang”, “kota kerja”, dengan karakter yang keras, kasar, tidak mempedulikan budaya, seni, ataupun komunitas sekeliling yang tidak berhubungan langsung dengannya, kerap diasosiasikan dengan kota pesisir ini.

Dalam kunjungan kali ini ke Yogyakarta, teman-teman dari C2O Library akan berbagi mengenai acara Design It Yourself, proses berbagi pengetahuan yang terjadi di dalamnya, dan konteks perkembangan design di Surabaya.

Design It Yourself is an annual series of design events first held in October 2011 at C2O Library. For this event, we gather various parties, from small communities, business, and academics related to design, particularly in Surabaya, to together instrospect and share their stories, ideas and inspirations, about their own situations and conditions. Various design disciplines are involved, from design in general, graphic design, design business & management, fashion, digital media, comic, urban art, and urban planning were discussed in one casual talk & presentation series.

Despite being second only to Jakarta in terms of regional size and industrialisation, Surabaya, is conspicuously missing from the Indonesian national map of Creative Cities.  Indeed, large regions, particularly with a large portion of working class and older industrial economy, do not usually corner the market as Creative Cities locations.  If anything, it has generally been perceived that creative works, bohemian lifestyle, and fields not directly related to industrial economy do not flourish in Surabaya the “city of work”, a thriving port city long associated with migrant labors and working class.

For this event, we will be sharing about Design It Yourself, the process of knowledge sharing, and the development of design in Surabaya.
