"Together we will explore ways in which can break down barriers to creating meaningful projects, share ways to remix the role of the designer, and unpack new approaches to the design processes of our built environment. Each one of us will find our ikusasa, Yoruba for future or progress, to forge our path towards progression."

EQxD SESSION 1: J.E.D.I. Agenda and Society/Economics/Social Mobility
October 23, 2020 / 2 - 3:30pm
"The uprisings that followed the murder of George Floyd have created a new sense of hope and a new desire in many to fight systemic racism in our country. As architects, we must first educate ourselves on the history and legacy of systemic racism as it relates to cities and buildings: How are the places and spaces that we design shaped by systemic racist policies, practices, ideologies, actions? How do these spaces uphold and reinforce systems of oppression? What does it mean to design spaces that are truly equitable, inclusive and safe for everyone? What can we as architects do to become true allies of BIPOC colleagues and their respective communities? In this session we will explore these questions the concepts and actions of anti-racism and design justice. We will consider ways in which we can apply these ideas as both advocates in our communities and as design professionals."
