Tariq Dixon, co-founder of TRNK NYC, will discuss PROVENANCED, a digital exhibition that debuted in fall of 2020. PROVENANCED explores what it might mean to establish a canon of African and Indigenous-inspired design that exists outside a colonial legacy of extraction and appropriation. Dixon's lecture will look at product design and industrial design through the lens of racism and classism in terms of curation, the industrial design business, and how the industry historically has been impacted by these phenomena.

Throughout the last year, the essential vibrancy of our creative community has remained and thrived even as we wait to be able to come together again in person. Our friends and neighbors have continued to stay apart out of a resolute desire to care for each other as we persevere one day at a time.
