Hi all,
Amy
--
The design opportunities digest was paused last week as we focused on the Design Showcase, and the frequency will slow down a bit during the summer, but the design opportunities won't stop and neither will this digest! Check out a few cool opportunities in the Bay Area and SoCal below.
Good luck with any remaining finals--summer is almost here!

South Central Arts: Histories and Futures Conference
May 14, 2022
May 14, 2022
What is abolition? What does abolition have to do with art? Why South Central LA? Why not South LA or Greater LA? Why grassroots? A one day conference posing questions to artists and arts facilitators, working within the grassroots, who have had influence in the international creative discourse and the movements towards abolition. Discussions will span from presenting the historical context of arts space making, either physical, intellectual or spiritual to creative movements away from state, carceral entities, surveillance and criminalization as well as from corporate institutions and charity foundations, towards community bridge building, autonomy and sustainability.
“South Central Arts: Histories and Futures” conference on May 14, 2022, aims to recenter a commitment to abolition among the arts spaces and the communities they serve in South Central Los Angeles, all of which are subject to forces of gentrification, heavy policing, high concentrations of houseless community members as well as great interest from culture industry brokers scouting for the “next big thing” emerging from within the neighborhood. The conference opens a space of collaboration toward an abolition of the predatory, carceral, extractive and racist forces displacing the community and a recentering of the grassroots arts practices that contribute to the community’s thrivance.
Conference Date: Saturday, May 14, 2022
Schedule: 9am – 5:30pm
Cost of Admission: Free
Registration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/326000645707
