Designs on Democracy

Members of Tumis Design and Design Action Collective will be holding a workshop on socially conscious design at the U.S. Social Forum on June 30th in Atlanta Georgia:

What is the history of graphic communication in the social justice movement? What is our role now?

How can we effectively use graphic communication to get our messages out in a way that reaches the hearts and minds of our communities and society at large?

What choices do we make in representation in our designs? What images and language do we use? How do we help in creating a message of diversity and positivity?


Join Favianna Rodriguez of Tumis Design, and Nadia Khastagir and Sabiha Basrai of Design Action Collective in a colorful presentation and discussion of the pressing topics facing progressive visual communicators.

This workshop is for emerging and experienced graphic designers, communications specialists, students and artists who work with social justice organizing efforts.

The U.S. Social Forum, a conference for social justice activists, runs June 27th through July 1st. For more info go HERE.
