The book Untold Stories. Designers femmes en Belgique (CFC-Éditions/Design Museum Brussels) is the first book to make the work of more than 50 women designers and makers active in Belgium between 1880 and 1980 accessible to a broad audience. Like the eponymous exhibition at the Design Museum Brussels, it represents only a first step in uncovering these objects, names, and histories—an invitation for further research.
So, what are the next steps toward a more feminist and inclusive design history? What should be at the top of the research agenda anno 2026? Where to situate the blind spots in the exhibition? What are key themes, research questions, or methodologies that can help surface more untold stories or unheard voices? And how can we put this into concrete action?
One year after the opening of the exhibition Untold Stories. Women designers in Belgium 1880-1980, Javier Gimeno-Martinez, Marjan Sterckx, and Katarina Serulus, co-curators of the exhibition and authors of the book, and the museum invite researchers invite to reflect together on this question.
