possibilities for thought and action:
DESIS @ 10

Reflecting on the last decade, this event considered how design intervenes in and responds to contemporary contexts and crises.
As an organizer, I worked with the lab to assemble a diverse group of practitioners to explore how they are forging alliances and developing practices that not only react to social, political, environmental, and economic issues, but also actively redefine these conditions. Participants included: Shana Agid, Ahmed Ansari, American Artist, Francisca Benítez, Wendy Brawer, John Bruce, Michael Carey, Sasha Costanza-Chock, Jodi Dean, Pablo Helguera, Amy Khoshbin, Carin Kuoni, Ezio Manzini, Miodrag Mitrašinović, Kristen Morse, Mari Nakano, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, David Colby Reed, Radhika Subramaniam, and Susan Yelavich.
​
From this, we continue to develop our assembly model that is used in courses and events associated with the lab.
