BK Talks: Raising Awareness; Dissecting Diversity in Design

Activity: Participating in or organising an eventParticipation in workshop, seminar, course

Description

We may all look different, but why are most of our experiences or journeys into the design world so similar? Is design becoming or championing an exclusive environment? How does diversity play a role in this?

The aim of this BK Talks event is to assess our current position in design and explore future projections of how designers can tackle diversity within the design of the built environment.
We will explore the implicit biases built into our creative world that could easily result in a diminished opportunity to design a truly representational environment. Instead of looking at far removed statistics, we will present issues concerning privilege, sexuality and race around us. We will draw parallels on the issues regarding the homogenisation of design education and consequently later in practice.
