What Now? In the midst of a general malaise regarding North America’s influence on the world, we are witnessing a return to the best of American popular culture. Optimism. Hope. A quest for truth. A demand for accountability. Yearning for deeper connections with the world, we see the resurgence of creativity and crafts once on the verge of extinction. Social media, the wild west of the internet, is taking root in our lives. So where does design fit? What might it represent in years to come? Dana explores some of the visionaries who have made our profession significant and the content creators who are the harbingers of our new age. Join AIGA Connecticut, as Dana Arnett explores their tenacity, intelligence and power to claim their rightful place at the centre of our collective future.
