#10 Marquise Stillwell on Community through Design
Marquise Stillwell's work spans art, culture, film and the problems (and solutions) of design in the world’s major cities. He speaks about life as an editor, film producer, curator, philanthropist and increasingly, a voice for social justice.
In 2009 Marquise founded Openbox in New York City - bringing together designers, researchers, and urbanists working with human-centered design; with a particular focus on building more inclusive, equitable communities.
He also runs the film production company Opendox, and is the co-founder of Deem Journal; both platforms which explore lesser-known narratives through design and culture. (link to there youtube channels)
In our Open/Ended conversation we speak about:
- Thinking about a different kind of AI - 'Ancestral Intelligence'.
- Issue #1 of Deem Journal, 'Designing for Dignity'; created to ask proactive questions and raise the visibility of women and people of colour as creative problem solvers and thinkers.
- Opendox's newest documentary 'The New Bauhaus' reflecting on living creatively and across disciplines in the 21st century.
- Empathy as a muscle.
