The Policing Issue

The Policing Issue of Design Museum Magazine does not call for designers to fix the problem of policing by collaborating with existing bureaucracies.

We are hoping to reveal some of the ways in which models of dominant-cultural supremacy frame design practices, and have entrenched some of the same oppressive inequities produced by policing.

This issue unpacks the current state of the system, exposing the creation and design of systems that perpetuate racism.

It is a call for change.

As guest editor, I organized the entire process of preparing this issue with Jennifer Jackson, one of the most competent and patient colleagues I’ve ever had the pleasure of collaborating with.
