Join Zahin Ali and James Zhou, both Senior Interaction Designers at IDEO Chicago, as they share their advice about effective storytelling through design portfolios. They will cover best practices for articulating your point of view as a designer, beyond the cookie-cutter methods of documenting project processes. They will also speak about the experience of working as an interaction designer/project member at IDEO and future directions that they see the design firm taking. This workshop is open to all Berkeley students who are interested in storytelling, design portfolio development, or design careers. Zahin is also available as a resource to all students in his role as a Jacobs Design Fellow.

For several decades, West Oakland residents have been working to establish the Hoover-Durant Library in their neighborhood as a center for community and culture. In this course, you will work collaboratively with community members to conduct research and create products such as plans and oral histories that advance their cause. You will engage intellectually and personally with issues of race and privilege and examine systemically entrenched inequities through the story of one neighborhood. Through time spent in the neighborhood and with its activists, you will learn about local needs and strengths and collaborate with residents in ways that benefit their project. The course work will be framed by the work of scholars of color who study the intersection of race, architecture and urbanism. You will learn to use and organize archives, research potential sites for the library, and may create events such as a popup library or zine workshop.
Additional information on this course can be found at Berkeley Academic Guide.

Imagining Data virtual exhibition at Museum of Craft + DesignOver the years data has become a buzzword, and a precious commodity—what we divulge through online activity is more valuable than the purchases and transactions we may be making. Our current status—personal, societal, political, environmental—can be described in terms of numbers and algorithms. Even the Covid-19 pandemic has made statistics an international obsession as we follow contagion, spikes, vaccine efficacy rates, and hospital capacities.
Guest curated by Ginger Duggan and Judy Fox of c2-curatorsquared, Imagining Data presents a selection of artists from around the world, who are showing what data can look like, in paintings, drawings, sculpture, audio-visual installation, fashion, and even performance. Data visualization is a discipline unto itself and is by no means a new way of making art. The artists showcased in this exhibition are developing systems to transform data into images, rationalizing the image-making process while creating resonating works of art. Participating artists and designers and their data-inspired work are divided into four subject areas: Natural/Environmental Conditions, Personal Biometrics, Communal Movement, and Randomized Content.
