Bias Towards Action: Applying the Design As Protest Anti-Racist Index to Your Design Practice

Deep Dive Session at ASLA 2021 Conference in Nashville, TN

Design As Protest’s Anti-Racist Design Justice Index is a transformative framework to seed change in design. We will explore the power dynamics of design, positionality, and co-create solutions for anti-racism design practices. Participants will leave with actionable strategies for firms, practices, and workplaces, plus connect to others practicing design justice.

University at Buffalo's AIAS presents: Architecture and Advocacy

Design As Protest, as well as Design Advocates, and Architects Declare will be speaking.

Join Design as Protest (DAP) Collective to envision a future of just policies that aim to address violence and injustice that architecture, design, and urban planning practices have disproportionately inflicted upon BIPOC people and communities. Participants will strategize and take action with us to deconstruct traditional racist planning practices and seek anti-racist policy recommendations. We will review the DAP Policy Briefs, an open collaborative document that uplifts progressive policy recommendations in regards to topics including Permanently Affordable Housing, Houselessness Eviction Policy, and Abolishment of Carceral Spaces. The session will start with a DAP Collective led panel discussion before transitioning into smaller generative breakout groups on each brief topic. Participants will share experiences, case studies and strategize about liberatory planning processes
