World Stage Design (WSD) is the first and only designer-based exhibition to showcase and celebrate performance design from individual designers.

WSD will be welcoming several hundred artists, designers, technicians and architects from around the world who practice, study and create performing arts events. 

On this occasion SHSH architecture & scenography has been invited to present its Bells for Peace project, a participatory and experiential public event, previously presented at the opening of Manchester International Festival 2019. A simple and careful approach to the scenography, bell towers, screens, wishing trees and the whole site was proposed and developed with Yoko Ono and the MIF team.

The fifth WSD exhibition will be held in Calgary, Canada, from August 6 to 16, 2022.
