Virtual Brainstorm: Designing for Dissent
Participate in a facilitated brainstorming session in anticipation of the forthcoming issue of Unfold.
Join the CoDesign Collaborative community on Monday, June 16, from 11:30 am ET / 8:30 am PT for a virtual brainstorming session on Designing for Dissent—the focus of the forthcoming issue of Unfold magazine, guest edited by Civic Design Strategist Rania Adwan.
Facilitated by Catherine Clarke, Experience Designer at Fidelity Investments, this interactive session is intended to share inspire from our community and explore how design can be a powerful tool for resistance, critique, and social transformation. Together, we’ll surface ideas, questions, and examples that challenge dominant narratives of dissent. This is a space to collectively imagine design that disrupts, empowers, and reclaims—laying the creative foundation for a provocative and thought-provoking publication.
