Polymode is a graphic design studio led by Silas Munro 03 GD and Brian Johnson 05 GD. They launched a new project this year called BIPOC Design History. Their first series of classes focused on “Black Design in America”, highlighting histories and voices that are often overlooked in traditional design education.
You can learn more about BIPOC Design History by following the project on Instagram and Twitter.
