SDF 2021: EMERGE

With this year’s festival theme, EMERGE, we invite participants to explore the opportunities of adaptation and change as we move forward with what we’ve learned from 2020. As the summer of 2021 came into focus we were excited to move into this Festival season with optimism and hope. We wanted to focus on what we, as a community, are emerging TO as our community heals – as we navigate changed perspectives – and as we think about new ways to leverage design. EMERGE isn’t just about a physical re-entry, it can be iterative and reflective as well. It doesn’t require a floodgate of immediate change or response. Even with ongoing challenges associated with the continued pandemic, it still felt very timely and appropriate.
