DAP Collective: YOU ARE A(NTI)RACIST
DAP Collective was established in the wake of massive losses of life in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the murder of George Floyd. Following the National Call on June 3, 2020, DAP began to grow through weekly BIPOC organizer calls on Zoom, fractalizing into myriad collaborations fueled by long-running injustices in the built environment. YOU ARE A(NTI)RACIST celebrates DAP’s projects and materializes the labor and love behind the work. Projects in the show reframe and reclaim design as a tool for protest and collective liberation rather than violence and oppression. In manifesting DAP’s complex virtual relationships and organizing in physical forms, the show reveals the transformative capacity of collaborative design processes that center on justice, joy, and community care. Through an ethos of “bias toward action,” YOU ARE A(NTI)RACIST is a call to action for all designers to interrogate their role in anti-racist design.
