What is
Project 101 Explorers?
Not a lecture. Not a conference. Project 101 Explorers is FOAID’s first global experience platform – a living, breathing design lab. You’ll roam cities, slip into hidden studios, spar with peers over ideas, spend time with mentors and come back with a head full of provocations that will change the way you build, draw, and dream.
