What will I learn?

Overview

A workshop that weaves together a designer's mindset with indigenous land management practices to help us build space where interpersonal fires (the taboo sh*t no one wants to talk about) can burn safely and productively to create restorative change.

Students will identify a wildfire in their own lives or communities (wildfires are scary, macro topics that feel impossible to wrangle), break that down (using how-why activities) to a smaller control burn, prototype an experience to wrangle a primary spark, and then build a control burn (an experience or tool design to clarify, guide, and encourage exploration of the primary spark).
