The Black in Design Conference recognizes the contributions of the African diaspora to the design fields and promotes discourse around the agency of the design profession to address and dismantle the institutional barriers faced by our communities.

The 2019 Conference, Black Futurism: Creating a More Equitable Future, focuses on the liberation of black and brown bodies from systems of oppression and specifically how design serves as a means for liberation and the creation of more equitable communities for minorities. By incorporating our histories of storytelling and narrating, we seek to create a learning environment where participants collaborate and further define their own perspectives of an equitable future. This conference gives agency to black and brown voices to define what a more sustainable future looks like and how we can realize this vision.

Stay connected for future details!

Extremely proud of my fellow creators and my @aigaatbowiestate student board that held it down at the @gsdaasu Black In Design Conference that wrapped up today. They filmed, they documented, they learned, they absorbed and explored the city. When I told the entire audience of design leaders we traveled 12 hours from Baltimore to Boston via train we got the biggest handclap. They got a chance to network with design professionals in the field and also connect with bright and insightful @gsdaasu graduate students! Thank you to @bowiestateuniversity @gsdaasu @____harvardgsd___ @aigadesign @vcdma for the support to get them on this journey! They worked hard and will continue to be and develop into future design leaders ! Lots to share and many more thanks to come! #bowiestateuniversity #collaboration #blackindesign #harvardgsd #BiD2017 (at Harvard University)

@gsdaasu thank you opening the door this weekend for amazing designers of action to meet and collaborate! Finally able to pick the brain of @antionettecarroll of @crxlab and hear her break down the values and goals of her organization! I’ve seen @crxlab continue to grow from afar since 2015 and her work in, with and for the community continues to be necessary. This awesome two-hour workshop was everything for me this weekend! Taken from the Just City Lab Workshop description: the workshop allowed us interrogate how design contributes to greater urban and social justice in cities and neighborhoods. We worked in small groups, using the Just City Index, as a tool for analyzing the way design and the design process advances justice. We were also given the chance to discuss work in our own communities and assess the impact we’re making to elevate civic engagement, urban and social justice. Our team was pretty phenomenal! #collaboration #blackindesign #harvardgsd #BiD2017 (at GSD Gund Hall)
