Working Design Session Movement Storytelling Lab: Designing Visual Narratives for Equity & Impact
Working Design Session Movement Storytelling Lab: Designing Visual Narratives for Equity & Impact
In this interactive, project-based workshop, education leaders, nonprofit executives, and social-justice advocates will explore how equity-driven storytelling can clarify and amplify community movements. Rooted in H2L2’s Movement Design Framework—a five-stage, research-informed process—participants will identify movement values, craft narrative elements, and experiment with accessible branding tools such as taglines, visual motifs, and storyboards. Small teams (12–20 participants total) will engage in quick research prompts, collaborative sketching, and peer feedback, producing a prototype “mini branding kit” that includes a draft tagline, core story statement, and supporting visuals. Designed for San Diego Design Week’s Design for Impact curated track, this session connects local changemakers with practical tools they can apply immediately to regional campaigns and educational initiatives. To extend accessibility, we will document key activities and share a brief recap video online, ensuring the impact of the session reaches beyond in-person attendees.
