Deem Journal

For Issue Three, “Envisioning Equity,” we bring together a range of perspectives on designing for difference.

Issue Three is led by a conversation between the Black Reconstruction Collective and Deem co-founders Nu Goteh and Alice Grandoit-Šutka. This dialogue of twelve distinct voices explores how we can best understand equity as a complex design challenge that recognizes and accounts for disadvantage, damage, and liability. With the architects, artists, designers, and scholars of the BRC, we consider the meaning of reconstruction, the relationship between equity and reparation, and the role of the institution in our visions for the future.

The contributors to our third issue include:

Alexis Aceves Garcia, Alice Grandoit-Šutka, Althea James, Andrew Cole, Arianna Gil, The Black Reconstruction Collective, Cuidando a las que nos cuidan, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Designing Motherhood, Elleza Kelley, Isabel Flower, Jezz Chung, Julia Lucey, Julian Rose, Mia Birdsong, Monica Uszerowicz, New Red Order, Nu Goteh, Rob Lewis, Robin D.G. Kelley, Se Young Au, Silvia Federici, Taeyoon Choi, Yewande Pearse
