SXSW EDU 2024
Decolonizing Graphic Design
Description:
Dr. Cheryl D. Miller's course, Decolonizing Graphic Design, A Black Perspective, provides educators with instruments to expand the canon taught in North America since the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) accredited the first Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (B.F.A.). The course began with support from the School of Design and Creative Technologies at the University of Texas at Austin. In this Design Dialogue, educators across North America present stories of transformation. This discussion reflects on how the identities between educators and students enhance learning.
