Chicago Designs 2024
Chicago Designs: Teaching Community-Based Histories is a workshop for college-level educators to work with local design collections that reflect diverse communities and social movements in Chicago. 15 participants were accepted by an open application call to join us June 17–21, 2024 for 5 days of in-person visits to museums, archives, and community sites led by design history experts with guest lecturers. After the workshop, participants will develop teaching resources to share in an online resource to be maintained by the Design Museum of Chicago.
The Chicago Designs workshop is part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that highlights the city’s artistic heritage and creative communities.
We also acknowledge the School of the Art Institute of Chicago as the institutional host of this program for 2024.
