Opening Monday, April 10th, from 6PM - 8PM
Design & Solidarity (Columbia University Press, 2023) is a book that explores the power of design, art, and architecture in shaping emergent forms of mutualism, fulfilling their promise of solidarity, and ensuring that these values endure.
Design & Solidarity is a field guide for rebuilding public life from the bottom up.
