Design and Politics

This studio/seminar hybrid workshop will take
place over seven weeks and will take current
geopolitical events as context for discussion of
contemporary design's relationship to the major
economic-political currents of our time. A curated
series of readings, lectures and viewings will
serve as provocations for independent research and
visual work testing, critiquing, and speculating
on design's current and potential relationship to
politics. The course's output will take final form
as a public facing event, exhibition, or
publication.
