David Adjaye, SO-IL and BlackSpace Urbanist Collective were among the speakers who presented in the final part of The World Around summit, which was broadcast live on Dezeen. Watch the event above.
The session spotlighted designers, thinkers and artists who are grappling with some of the complex issues currently playing out in the US, including the nation s response to the coronavirus pandemic and race relations. Together [the speakers] explore how people can expand our understanding of this complex and divided country through positive, productive ideas and reclamation of civic spaces, said The World Around founder and curator Beatrice Galilee.
