Official Partner and Open Call

In June 2026, the Reality Intelligence Association was confirmed as an Official Partner of London Design Festival (LDF) 2026 — one of the world's leading design events, held across the city each September since 2003.

As part of the Festival, RIA will present its first exhibition: Mind × Body: Catalyst Phenomenon Archive, a curated, cross-disciplinary pop-up exhibition in central London, 18–20 September 2026. Drawing on Juhani Pallasmaa's notion of the thinking hand, it positions Mind and Body not as opposing poles but as mutually catalytic forces.

The open call is now active. Practitioners across art, design, and document are invited to apply internationally, at any career stage, with a submission deadline of 10 August 2026.

As an Official Partner, RIA organises and curates its own exhibition, presented as part of the Festival programme.
