Intersectional Us: The Black Experience in Design

Panel Discussion - Intersectional Us: The Black Experience in Design (presenting virtually to all attendees) There has never been a time when Black designers were not shaping, creating, packaging, distributing, and celebrating through, with, and by design. Black designers from across the diaspora have been integral to the development of our professions and practices, contributing to the design of typography and posters, chairs and wearables, modes of transport and methods of care, financial services, and speculative futures. This panel will subsequently focus on the diversity of experiences and backgrounds within a so-called “Black Experience” that have informed and will continue to inform the design profession. In this session you will learn: About the diversity of experiences and practices that are represented in The Black Experience in Design About designing for Black Joy About Black interventions in speculative futuring, sustainable design methods, healing practices, and activisms
