The POC Survival Guide to Public Space is a collaborative project between Ron Morrison, Renae Reynolds-Diggs, and Design+Culture Lab, sharing stories, experiences, and knowledge about how people of color engage in the public realm. Collecting lived experiences from Black and Indigenous and people of color, this project seeks to build a new methodology and a deeper understanding of how race and space inform each other, moving away from the broad strokes of race as a demographic category and toward the intimate and the particular. In building this shared understanding, Design+Culture Lab asks people of color to submit stories, encounters, and reflections as Black and Indigenous and people of color moving within the city.
