As the wealth gap expands and meaningful alternatives are being explored, closed-loop community wealth building is re-emerging in multiple arenas of thought and practice. How can designers be active participants in shifting power to communities and re-envision the role of design in supporting community wealth? Could these strategies be part of national reparations as the country grapples with its whole history?

Join Mithun partner Debra Guenther for “Return to Community: Designing for Community Wealth Building” to explore these questions and hear about what Mithun is learning from working with people in the communities of North Richmond, CA; Sun Valley in Denver; Hilltop in Tacoma, WA; and Delridge in Seattle.
