Exhibition Description
“Dark Matter U: Justice, Pedagogy, Design will be the first major U.S. exhibition of and by the groundbreaking Dark Matter U (DMU) network. Initiated in the wake of the 2020 movement for Black Lives to enact systemic change across the design fields, Dark Matter U emerged as the first BIPOC-led transdisciplinary network in the built environment working to change the way we gather, teach, and produce design while simultaneously modeling a new liberatory framework. Over the past half decade, DMU has persisted and grown into an enduring voice in the built environment milieu, modeling a new counter-institutional framework by which design pedagogy, education, and generative creative output can be conceived and produced.”
