How does power manifest itself in design, and how can design be used to subvert oppressive power dynamics? In this session, participants will share multi-disciplinary perspectives, explore understandings of power, and visualize how power shows up in design practice. This session will be hands-on and collaborative, as participants exchange wisdom and build together through facilitated exercises. Participants will walk away with artifacts that visualize the role of power in their design work.
