7+1 Acts of Survival brings together seven designers to explore what allows things to endure over time. Survival is understood not as inertia, but as the capacity to resist and generate meaning across generations, emerging from the tension between human intention and the resilience of matter. Stone, shaped by over two billion years of geological time, becomes the central reference for understanding persistence in its different forms. Each work begins from an identical block of African black stone, establishing a shared condition from which distinct responses emerge. Through these variations, the exhibition reflects on how form, material, and time interact, revealing survival as a process that continues to unfold rather than a fixed state
