Designers, let's resist | Anti-oppressive gathering

​Design has long been used to uphold systems of oppression—but it can also be a tool for resistance and liberation. How do we disrupt harmful patterns, subvert dominant narratives, and build something better?

​In this gathering, we’ll explore the role of creativity in collective resistance—how design, art, and storytelling can challenge power, sustain movements, and open pathways to just and liberatory futures.

​This is a space to connect, collaborate, and co-create strategies for pushing back against injustice using our collective creativity.

​What to Expect

​This gathering will be shaped by those in the room. We’re inviting designers, artists, organizers, and all those using creative means to resist and reimagine brighter futures.

​The details are still unfolding—when you register, you’ll have a chance to share what you’d like to explore. We’ll send the agenda and plan as we get closer.

​If you're ready to harness creativity for radical change, we hope you’ll join us.

​A few logistical details in the meantime:

• ​The gathering will be 90 minutes—join for as long as you can.

• ​The session may be recorded (with attendee consent).

• ​A virtual discussion space may be made available for async participation.
