What is equity-centered community design? This transformative concept focuses on centering the voices and decision-making power of individuals with lived experience, who Creative Reaction Lab refers to as “living experts.” It also calls on human-centered design experts and others to use their leverage, access, and influence to support and amplify community voices. In this session, CCI’s Chris Conley chats with Hilary Sedovic, a systems thinker and former learning & education director at Creative Reaction Lab. Sedovic, who calls herself a “redesigner for justice,” sheds light onto the key role that design allies have in empowering living experts. Creative Reaction Lab emphasizes building quality relationships, humility, and embracing a collective investment in community well-being in order to move towards greater equity and inclusivity in design. Learn how this type of civic engagement and the redesigning for justice movement can move us to reshape the narrative -- creating a just world through authentic collaboration and community-centered approaches in the design process.
