EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN
Representation in the arts matters because it helps to reinforce models of success for emerging and current Black artists, makers, and designers. It provides creatives with role models in respective fields. Seeing more faces that look like yours succeed illuminates not a path, but possibility.
