Join us at MODA for a powerful evening with Omari Souza, founder of the State of Black Design conference and editor of the newly released book Design Against Racism: Creating Work That Transforms Communities.
Souza will share the stories, ideas, and strategies behind this groundbreaking collection, which calls out design’s past shortcomings while showing how it can be a force for equity and positive change. Together, we’ll dive into themes like:
How the white gaze has shaped design—and how to challenge it
Language as both a barrier and a tool for resistance
Hip-Hop Architecture and Afrofuturism as design strategies for innovation and justice
What it means to truly design with communities, not just for them
What to Expect:
A talk and Q&A with Omari Souza and guests
Insights on how design can fight racism and spark transformation
An opportunity to connect with fellow design enthusiasts and advocates for equity in design.
A chance for your copy of Design Against Racism: Creating Work That Transforms Communities signed by the author.
This is a must-attend event for designers, students, educators, and anyone passionate about social justice and the power of design to drive change.
