Test Preorder: Design Histories in Southwest Asia & North Africa: Voices from the SWANA Diaspora

Testing:

Design Histories in the Southwest Asia & North Africa: Voices from the SWANA Diaspora is a course that highlights the diversity of our communities and puts forward the most vulnerable in our liberation. For the SWANA region, that means highlighting, uplifting, and specifically amplifying the voices of women who are often unheard. This course will challenge dominant narratives that are often written about us and not by us; visualized as monolithic experience, these classes will share the visual culture and histories of the varied Arab identities.

This series of lectures, revisits, rewrites, and actively archives past and contemporary design practices within the SWANA region through the continuous process of negotiation. It is the third in a series of BIPOC Centered design history courses facilitated by Randa Hadi and Polymode.
