San Diego Design Week, Panel Discussion: Revitalizing Community Through Design Equity & Artist Housing

Program Time: 1p-3p Doors Open to public @ 12:45p

Art Power Equity and Culture Mapping: San Diego will host a community visioning and discussion session centered around space and housing for creatives of color from a design equity lens. The conversation will be recorded and a follow-up document will be used to share our conversation with the wider San Diego community.

Hosted By Angie Chandler of Culture Mapping & Kamaal Martin of Art Power & Equity

This panel discussion will focus on approaching community-based housing for artists and creatives through a design justice lens. What is the relationship between design, power, and social justice? “Design justice” is an approach to design that is led by marginalized communities and that aims explicitly to challenge, rather than reproduce structural inequalities. It has emerged from a growing community of designers in various fields who work closely with social movements and community-based organizations around the world.
