2022-07-06 09:45 - 2022-07-08 15:30 UTC | Virtual Design Studio on Zoom
Our annual summer camp empowers young people to affect change in their community through design. By connecting young people to real-world architects and planners, we help foster the next generation of design professionals, civic leaders, and changemakers while advocating for increased inclusiveness, diversity, fellowship, equity, and excellence in design throughout Metro Atlanta. Pipeline students are asked to think creatively about the spaces around them and are allowed to investigate how they can best influence those spaces. Each day consists of various hands-on activities and learning sessions designed to encourage students to synthesize and interpret new information as they develop a new building for their city to engage with. By the end of camp, Pipeline students would have created the structure that would fit within their city blocks for a better city and designed a community that reflects their academic, cultural, and design interests!

The Storytelling Series: Monuments and Memorials
2021-05-06 18:30 - 20:00 UTC | Georgia
NOMA Atlanta is presenting the Storytelling Series to share thoughts and ideas for how we, as designers and architects, can play a more integral role in how we narrate the stories we tell through our design work and community engagement. We are identifying organizations and individuals who showcase impactful ways to celebrate people, art, culture, and history through their design, use of activism, communities and education. In this series segment, we are talking with the DAP Collective on how they tell stories through their initiatives.

The lecture will discuss the direct action and methodologies of installing Buildable Memorials into spaces and communities through conversation and examples. These memorials and monuments illustrate the people, places and futures stolen by white supremacy and state-sanctioned violence. Come learn how to coordinate, illustrate, assemble and install pop-up memorials in public spaces, sites of protest, and places where land and/or life have been lost to racial violence.
