Civic Design Courses
Beginning in 2022, RIRJ and the Design Studio for Social Intervention (DS4SI) launched a series of in person Civic Design Courses for BIPoC artists and organizers in Boston. These courses and current iterations take place in the context of DS4SI’s Design Gym, a community infrastructure and place to work out ideas, stretch the muscles of imagination, meet neighborhood artists and organizers, learn design techniques, and prototype new solutions to collectively build our communities to be more just and vibrant.
