Learning

We offer a lively monthly program of online workshops, lectures, panel discussions, and networking events around the politics of design.

Our authors and lecturers come from a globally-dispersed community of mostly womxn and non-binary designers, writers, journalists, editors, researchers, educators, artists, activists, and beyond.

Launching Pressing Issues—an online event series discussing the politics of translating, archiving, and publishing!

We are excited to release this year’s paid online series: Pressing Issues—Printing Futures, Publishing Resistance! From October 2025 to January 2026, six online lectures, one tutorial, and one roundtable conversation take a deep dive into the politics of translating, archiving, and publishing—from researching Iranian feminist periodicals and building Pan-African liberation through archiving, to surviving capitalism as a queer publishing house, and fostering community through reading, publishing, and printing. The series explores the materiality of underground print, discusses the politics of translation beyond words, poses access questions in publishing, and examines the intersection of language and activism from within communities.
