About Satellite x Activism

Satellite x Activism is a five month residency for Emily Carr project teams to develop major social innovation projects that are applied, self- directed and rooted in practices of activism and place-based responsibility

Facilitated by Laura Kozak, residents have access to studio space, mentorship, peer support and funding toward the goal of developing products or services; initiating events, programs, or community partnerships; or starting studios, collectives, agencies or non-profits.

Satellite x Activism projects:

connect to localized movements of art, design and activism

collaborative, socially engaged initiatives that address the social and political realities of communities

bring contextual attentiveness to systems of oppression and inequity

build relational, place-based networks (for example, who would we work with and how during disaster response)

support care and mutual aid within localized community, nurture place-based storytelling or responsibility to land

consider human and non-human relationships

support community or seek to create social equity

are shareable, with learning that is open to others

support designer agency, practicality, navigating a way forward

establish designers’ participation in or creation of community

help establish conditions for artists and designers to financially support themselves through project lens, give financial sustainability to the project itself

negotiate “how” alongside “what”
