Design/ing in the Apocalypse

Apocalypse comes from the ancient Greek word meaning “revelation” or “unveiling”. The past two years have hammered home the endemic nature of the conditions we face, the unprocessed grief we individually and collectively hold, and the need to focus on repair and healing, rather than a “return to normal”. As design/ers who shape the physical environment we all live in, we need to examine the ways we have been complicit in the harm of our communities. Design/er Liz Ogbu will lead us in the exploration of what it means to negotiate issues of race and space in service of the repair and healing of communities.
