How Community Design Advocates Can Be a Force for Design Justice - 0 views

  • Currently, Colloqate is working with community design advocates on Midland Library in Portland and restorative justice space in Dallas.
  • The project in Dallas, which deals with a former jail, allows us to think about restorative justice through the lens of those who have been most harmed by that space. We were able to hire CDAs that were formerly incarcerated and hire others who were part of the broader network of the city and they were working together to ask questions of their own specific communities,
  • Design as Protest (DAP) began as a yearlong organizing effort, involving 250 design professionals and design advocates across the United States and Canada. They examined how injustice can be challenged through the built environment. Issues such as ending the prison industrial complex, defunding and reallocating the police, and advocating against architecture projects that are hostile to communities of color.

  • The Black Panthers talked about removing capitalist intentions within communities which are the standard tropes around what gentrification is and what it means for capital to come into a neighborhood and wash away cultural institutions. The ethos of design justice is simply that for every injustice in this world there is an architecture, a plan, a design, that’s been built to sustain that injustice, and for so much of our work power is vested in land.”
  •  
    Community Design Associates are not only asked to talk about design, but also about their own experiences and the nuances that get missed in public consultations where the project is set and residents can only ask questions or give opinions.

Living by the book - The Express Tribune - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting description of what the availability of a "third space" might have meant to a young person as he was growing up:  a space that Jordan could have used to talk about how he felt while on his journey. It could have been used as a platform for Jordan and his peers to discuss what he was comfortable and uncomfortable with.

Scientists: Let's Change How We Talk About Climate Change - 0 views

  •  
    What's needed...is a lot more public debate about the risks of inaction. "Risk is something we all understand in our daily lives...and if people were to think more about the risk of inaction, we think they would be more inclined to take action." How can museums help move the conversation forward?

Disaster? Pack a Library Card - 0 views

  •  
    Great report on how the libraries in NY and New Jersey became centers of communication during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Could museum's serve the same purpose in their community? This concept could be worked into museums' Disaster Preparedness plan.
  •  
    Elaine Gurian has been advocating for years for museums to be "essential" in their communities. This is an example of walking the walk, not just talking the talk. Yes, museums should think about how they could serve their communities in the event of disasters and build those ideas into their prepardedness plans.

Museum 2.0: What I Learned about Strangers from Jane Jacobs on my Winter Vacation - 2 views

  •  
    From the blog: How do we "design for strangers"? Can people be "alone" and "together" just as easily in a space? From a comments: "we talk so much about the activities and the look and feel of places and don't spend nearly enough time thinking about the sound of a place"
