Title: Undesign the Redline Exhibit

URL: http://www.designingthewe.com/undesign-the-redline/

Collection: Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library

Description: Designing the WE, a New York design studio focused on social innovation, developed the “Undesign the Redline” interactive exhibit, workshop series, and curriculum. The exhibit explores the history of structural racism and inequality, and examines how these issues compounded each other, from 1938 Redlining maps until today. The exhibit travels nationally, tailoring its materials to the situation in each city. The exhibit is intended to help communities learn together, activate, and mobilize into a strong “WE” capable of transforming racist systems with intentionality. “Undesign the Redline” was hosted by Denver’s Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library from November 2018 through July 2019.
