David Adjaye, SO-IL and BlackSpace Urbanist Collective are among the speakers who will present in the final part of The World Around summit, which is being broadcast live on Dezeen. Watch here from 9:00pm London time (4:00pm New York time.)
The session will spotlight designers, thinkers and artists who are grappling with some of the complex issues currently playing out in the US, including the nation's response to the coronavirus pandemic and race relations.
"Together [the speakers] explore how people can expand our understanding of this complex and divided country through positive, productive ideas and reclamation of civic spaces," said The World Around founder and curator Beatrice Galilee.
