How might we be inspired to tell personal stories of creativity?

Join Christina L. De León, Associate Curator of Latino Design at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum for an interactive storytelling workshop inspired by design processes and rich stories in Cooper Hewitt’s collection of historic and contemporary design. Educators and nonprofit professionals will explore the possibilities that lie at the intersection of culture, identity, and design. Participants will have the opportunity to converse, question, analyze, and design for the future while considering the full range of human diversity and people-first approaches to solving problems.

Leave with tools and tactics to share personal and professional stories of inspiration and identity that can apply to a wide range of creative practices.
