The Design Futures Faculty Convening is a one-day workshop for designers, artists, educators, and organizers focused on equitably envisioning, designing, and transforming the built environment. We will spend the day in community with each other as practitioners to reflect on the field, share tactics, and create collective actions to strengthen our neighborhoods, professional practices, and institutions, into more connected and equitable places.
This year, we will focus on trauma-informed design. Framing our neighborhoods and design institutions, as places of experienced trauma, we will explore how can we use creative strategies to unearth unconscious patterns of harm and intentionally create new frameworks rooted in shared power and collective healing.
Who should attend?
We use the term “faculty” loosely, as anyone with experience and knowledge in the field either in practice and/or academia. You do not need to be affiliated with a university to attend.
See below for costs and registration. For folx who are unaffiliated with organizations or with a budget of less than $60k, please contact designfuturesforum@gmail.com directly for alternative pricing.
We wish that we could keep this event cost-free for participants, but because we are self-funding this gathering, we hope this can be a collective effort to resource.
Please contact designfuturesforum@gmail.com directly with any concerns related to costs.
Deadline
Registration closes Friday, January 10th, 2020.
Please note only 40 tickets will be available to keep the convening on a small and intimate scale.
