— in collaboration with April de Simone, Design and Urban Ecologies '14
UNDESIGN THE REDLINE is a framework for unearthing our most deep, systemic and entangled crises. This interactive exhibit, workshop series and curriculum explores the history of structural racism and classism, how these designs compounded each other from 1938 Redlining maps until today, and how WE can come together to undesign these systems with intentionality.
Designing the WE is a social impact design studio focusing on issues of community driven economic, cultural and social development. We engage with communities and diverse stakeholders to transform places and economies together in ways that intentionally undesign our most entangled crises, such as structural racism, economic inequality and issues of housing and infrastructure. We believe in co-creating an ecosystem of social change.
