AIGA NY

An open discussion for designers exploring what it means to decolonize design.

Office Hours is a discussion series for people working in design. Staying up-to-date in our ever-evolving industry can be tough, and we’re here to create a space for designers to come together and discuss the latest trends, news, and challenges in a casual, open environment.This session explores what it means to decolonize design — both as a concept and as an active practice. Together, we’ll examine how design has been shaped by dominant cultural narratives, and consider how we might begin to shift, expand, or reimagine those foundations in our own work.We’re welcoming back Brian Johnson from our upcoming event <a href="https://www.aigany.org/event/polymode-and-xyz-type-identity-is-variable/" title="https://www.aigany.org/event/polymode-and-xyz-type-identity-is-variable/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Identity Is Variable</a> as our guest moderator. Brian will help ground the conversation with an opening perspective before we move into an open discussion.Brian Johnson is an award-winning designer, curator, and educator. As a citizen of the Monacan Indian Nation and a partner at the design studio <a href="https://www.aigany.org/event/polymode-and-xyz-type-identity-is-variable/" title="https://www.aigany.org/event/polymode-and-xyz-type-identity-is-variable/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Polymode</a>, he works to amplify marginalized voices, with a focus on BIPOC and QTBIPOC communities. He often explores the intersection of race, culture, and graphic design history.This session is intended to be thoughtful, exploratory, and participatory. Whether you’re new to this topic or have been engaging with it for some time, all perspectives are welcome. _This series is open to creatives of all levels. We encourage early registration, as we're limiting each group to 35 participants to ensure an intimate and engaging conversation. After each session, we'll share a recap with further reading to keep the conversation going.
