What Does It Mean to Queer Design Education?

July 26, 2018

Today at Walker Reader, we launched the second installment of our Soundboard platform, a tool that allows multiple voices to weigh in on the same question. The topic: "How do we queer design education without compromise?" Guest editor Nicole Killian invited four designer/educators—Kristina Ketola Bore, Nate Pyper, Ginger Brooks Takahashi, and Ramon Tejada—to consider ways to create a non-binary design canon. Commissioned for our popular design vertical, The Gradient, the series includes ad-style graphics created by designer/developer Jasio Stefanski and design director Emmet Byrne. It follows the inaugural edition of Soundboard, which addressed the #MeToo movement, museums, and allegations of sexual harassment by artist Chuck Close.
