The Black Experience in Design: Identity, Expression & Reflection

Discover the hidden narratives and untold stories of Black designers in the groundbreaking book, The Black Experience in Design: Identity, Expression & Reflection. This unique anthology brings together teaching practices, research, stories, and conversations from a Black/African diasporic lens, shedding light on the often-overlooked contributions of Black designers in the industry.

For far too long, traditional design history and educational canons have excluded the work and experiences of Black designers, favoring European modernist influences. But now, in the wake of the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests, there is a heightened awareness surrounding the need for diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Black Experience in Design presents an opportunity to make long-term, systemic changes in design education, research, and practice.

Designed as an inherently collaborative and multidisciplinary text, The Black Experience in Design opens doors to ideas and topics for a variety of audiences. It serves as a powerful resource for educators, practitioners, and students alike, meeting them wherever they are in their knowledge about design. Through the inspiring voices represented in this anthology, readers will be inspired to reimagine, shape, and design our collective future.
