Dialogue and Dinner about Abolitionist Design with Dr. Terresa Moses
鈥淸Artists] are here to disturb the peace.鈥 鈥揓ames Baldwin
Institutional Equity invites our campus community for a Dialogue and Dinner with 鈥 a designer, educator, and organizer. She is the Creative Director and Co-founder of , an Associate Professor of Graphic Design, and the Director of Design Justice at the University of MN.
During our dialogue with Dr. Moses, we will learn more about abolitionist design, explore our role as designers, and our duty to engage in design with an abolitionist mindset which she argues is the only means to collective liberation.
As intentional artists, we have a responsibility to disrupt, dismantle, and destroy systems of oppression. The design industry has the time, money, and resources to use design to hold space for the voices of systemically oppressed communities while we work towards a collective future free from violence. Our creative abilities give us the means to collectively share stories in ways that invoke change and inspire action and advocacy for communities that have historically been underrepresented, underserved, and underinvested. Although the concept of abolition isn鈥檛 a new one, the 2020 Uprisings provided a reintroduction to this way of thinking to the global public.
