Based on curricula developed by our guest curators, Racism Untaught will present concepts of racialized design – artifacts, systems, and experiences that perpetuate elements of racism – and use the Racism Untaught framework to unpack, reimagine, and create anti-racist design approaches. Racism Untaught was developed to address an identified gap in design education and industry to provide opportunities for participants to foster conversations in project-based learning environments focused on anti-racism to ensure new ideas, critical thinking, and forms of making racism untaught.
