DS4SI DESIGN GYM

Social Proof Thursdays is a series of workshops where we make things together as a way to leave visible traces of our values in public—a collective proof of life, care, and refusal in the face of fascism. What does it mean to be influenced by each other in generative ways? How do we shape what’s possible by making our beliefs, visions, and solidarities public? These Thursdays are experiments in showing up, making boldly, and inviting others to do the same—through posters, stencils, zines, and whatever else helps us move in public together.

Class Description:

Wheat pasting is a powerful tool for transforming public walls into canvases of solidarity, resistance, and shared imagination. We’ll discuss its roots in protest and street art, explore its role in shaping public narratives, and create our own collaborative designs to paste up in Uphams Corner and beyond. Come ready to get messy, make meaning, and be part of a public intervention that insists that another world is not only possible and that we’re already building it, together.
