Frames serves as an exploration of forms through which architecture and design practices perpetuate racism. It includes a space for reflection and contribution through writing, sketching, reading, posting and dialogue. This small set of works and ideas brings attention to hegemonic ways colorblind racism can persist in the work and practices of designers and architects.
The exhibit is a collaboration of students, staff and faculty in Environmental Design, the Center for Inclusion and Social Change and Special Collections, Archives and Preservation at the University Libraries.
