How can designers take into account healing frameworks? Join Designer
In Residence Sloan Leo and DSI Chair Miya Osaki to learn more. CAN WE
CARE TOGETHER?
Healing Justice as a framework holds much promise for advancing a
public understanding of collective care. How can designers take in
account needs for rest, restoration and regeneration in their
practices?

ABOUT IDEAS IN ACTION:
We are a species and planet in a time of significant upheaval -- and
in this time of disruption, there is an urgent need to strengthen the
resilience of our communities, at work, at home and where we live,
work and play. The social design field, despite its nascence, provides
opportunity to leverage design interventions - in places, spaces and
processes that create the enabling conditions for the cultural
phenomenon we call community. We must ask ourselves - how can social
innovation as a design practice connect more deeply with social
innovation as it is practiced by movements, institutions and people
seeking justice? What tools and frameworks can social innovators learn
from social designers and vice versa?
Drawing upon grassroots organizing tactics, community based human
centered design, biomimetic innovation and other fields, these
dialogues will explore shared values, language, approaches and
aspirations between the fields of social design and social justice.
Join Designer-in-Residence, Sloan Leo, for a series of curated
conversations exploring innovations in community building - all events
will take place at The School of Visual Arts, Design for Social
Innovation Auditorium from 8:30am - 10:00am.
RSVP Required.
