After spending the last mini-season discussing how municipal divides impact racial equity, we wanted to examine equity from another angle… design.
Because if racism is designed, what does it mean to design toward racial equity?
To answer that question, we teamed up with AIGA St. Louis, the local chapter of the largest oldest and largest professional membership organization for design, to host an evening of stories and discussion with St. Louis-based designers: Antionette Carroll, MK Stallings, and Erika Harano.
You can find the stories and discussion in the video above.
