In conjunction with our exhibition, this special program of Design/Relief  will feature our team members in dialog with a selection of community partners. The Red Hook, Rockaway and Seaport teams will briefly present their project and process of engagement over the past 9 months. Then, they will discuss the transformative power of design in making those communities more visible, legible and navigable places. The conversation will address how design has impacted the places, the people, the dynamics between various groups, and affected the sense of identity in those places. Conversation moderated by program director Laetitia Wolff.
