Democratize by Design: Designing Civic Uprising

In partnership with Henrybuilt + Space Theory, ARCADE brings together speakers from diverse design disciplines to explore how design increases accessibility, creates equitable spaces and work, redefines aesthetic awareness, and empowers communities.

This panel brings together professionals working toward engaging the public in civic discourse, change, and policy. As the 2020 election looms, we ask: What is the role of design and designers in promoting civic action?

Panelists include:
Cleo Barnett, Amplifier
Anton Dekom, Neiman Taber Architects; AIA Committee on Homelessness
Nick Licata, author of Becoming a Citizen Activist, formerly City of Seattle
Stacy Smedley, Skanska

Moderator: Jp Avila, This is Design School; Pacific Lutheran University
