Making Beautiful Trouble: A Workshop on Creative Activism

Are you curious about how to make change in your community? Are you looking for ways to creatively challenge the status quo? Do you want to join in envisioning the future we want to live in through peace and justice? Join us for this workshop with Beautiful Trouble exploring the role of design in creating change through projects featured in the exhibition Designing Peace.

The workshop will introduce you to Beautiful Trouble’s tactics and techniques of creative activism. Using the Beautiful Trouble toolbox and other participatory games, participants will brainstorm and develop unique ways to support peace and justice. As part of the workshop, Cynthia E. Smith, Curator of Socially Responsible Design, will provide an overview of Designing Peace. Participants are encouraged to view the exhibition in advance of the workshop.
