Will we see you there? 〰️
Creative Reaction Lab is thrilled to host a series of Reimagining and Redesigning Forums, with our remarkable Founder, President and CEO Antionette Carroll spearheading the discussions as our moderator. These in-depth dialogues promise to be a breeding ground for profound thought exchange, meaningful relationships, and shared inspiration. Our aim is to cultivate a collaborative atmosphere for impassioned advocates of Redesigners for Justice like you, nurtured through stimulating discourse and pooled wisdom.
In these discussions, our focus will be on addressing two fundamental yet pertinent queries that resonate across all our professions and pursuits: (1) Which sectors require a reinvention or redesign to cultivate greater inclusivity, equity, and fairness? (2) Could you share examples of successful implementation of equity, specifically in the context of co-creating a benevolent and civil society? Our dialogue will throw light on the friction and potential justice-rooted opportunities within our immediate communities, sectors, and industries to envisage a society that's just and liberating. As a final point, the insights gleaned from these discussions will fuel the progress and expansion of our emerging umbrella organization: the Institute of Equitable Design and Justice.
Select cities will feature additional special guest speakers.
Quotes From Some of Our Previous Attendees
“I think sometimes we’re seeing the progress, and we see it’s slow, and it’s small things like you’re talking about, and we ignore them because the problem is huge; but we have to take those moments of joy because at least it’s something, something’s changing.”
“Having the ability to have access and choice, is part of equity.”
“Inclusion is about process, equity is about outcomes.”
