This class explores the power of public activism through design interventions. Students will learn about the role design and designers play in social activism, to subvert, amplify, resist, intervene, disobey, and protest in favor of principles that matter on a personal level. Additionally, they will learn strategies for research, ideation, prototyping, and testing design solutions. Students will examine/develop criteria for successful acts of social resistance. They will work individually or in groups to design and implement a campaign for a concept of their choosing; final deliverable forms will include posters and a public art installation.
