Performing Rapid Response Design Justice: #HerWholeTruth, Lisa’s Song &amp; Girl Squads 

Dear all, Next up in our seminar series "Knowledge in Making - Design by Doing", we will meet with Jon McKenzie, Lara Harvey and Veronica Cinibulk (Cornell University, USA) to discuss Rapid Response Design Justice.Design Justice offers artists, activists, and humanists rich avenues for collective thought-action performed between diverse communities, local and global. Transmedia knowledge—the generation and dissemination of truth effects in different bodies via any media necessary—lies at the heart of human-centered design, community-engaged media, and the emerging field of Design Justice. Such knowledges and concomitant powers define the stakes of emergent media genres, production platforms, and the sociotechnical networks of Zoom, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. This StudioLab seminar explores ways that cultural performance forms of poetry, imagery, music, and interactive design directly engage contemporary crises of care, specifically the digital tweets, posts, and videos generated by an international coalition of women inmates, lawyers, advocates, and students whose months-long clemency campaign for death-row inmate Lisa Montgomery ended abruptly with her execution by the Trump Administration on January 12, 2021. What conceptual, aesthetic, technical, and organizational lessons might guide the larger international movement #HerWholeTruth? How might scholars better support activism around gender and extreme sentencing through a Generation Lisa, alongside Generation Greta and Generation RGB? What role might Performance Studies play in jump-starting a Generation Lisa in the coming years?To prepare for this seminar, please read: McKenzie, Jon. 2019.”Becoming Cosmographer: Co-designing Worlds.” In Transmedia Knowledge for Liberal Arts and Community Engagement: A Studio Lab Manifesto, 109-145.
