Our guest is Chicago-based community organizer, educator, and designer Amira Hegazy.
In this episode, Amira speaks with host Christian Solorzano about “love and care” as guiding principles that shape and drive the design process and work we do as designers.
She walks us through her research about Chicago neighborhoods and the typography that represents their identities. She shares the importance of listening and understanding as crucial methods of honoring and respecting the history and legacies of cultures of communities. We also hear about her perspective on teaching and the classroom as being a space for inquiry into the ethics and implications of design across a range of contexts.
