UC 309

In this workshop, we'll introduce problem framing and speculative design methods that anyone can use to focus their attention and efforts on hopeful and strategic change. Attendees will use arts-based practices to depict issues, define their sphere of influence, and envision strategies. No artistic skills or talents are required to participate.
