Design as a Liberatory Practice with Tania Anaissie

Please note that the Fall 2021 Workshop Series is open to current interaction design students only. 

Join us for an interactive workshop with Liberatory Design co-creator and Beytna Design founder Tania Anaissie where you will, in groups, dissect the human-centered design process to identify what elements support change towards liberation and which create harm. You will then explore alternatives of how to shift your practice and the field at large. Tania will also share her journey from being a design student with questions to co-creating and evolving Liberatory Design.
