Co- focuses on the processes and practices of working directly with the systems, communities, and people who would be users. We aim to explore what the future of design practice looks like through the lenses of collaborating with and for human accessibility and inclusivity, intelligent machines, and wider environmental systems. Through these conversations, we aim to find common threads of methods and thought across scales and mediums of design.
