Discussion | What is Latinx Design? (in-person and online)
Latin American identity has been forged out of shared stories of victory and struggle against oppression, as well as the resilience to move forward without forgetting the past. As such, Latinx is an inadequate term. While it can be used to find community and solidarity, it can also be othering and reduce a multitude of experiences into a monolith. Moreover, the term itself is a constant reminder of a violent process of colonization because without colonization, there is no Latinx. In this panel, four self-identifying Latin American designers working in the U.S. today will share and discuss issues of being Latinx in design: how do they grapple with the concept of Latinx? How do they define Latinx design for themselves and their communities? How can we move past stereotypes reconciling the past with a pluralist future, and how can we design in comunidad?
