Glenn McArthur Receives Certificate of Recognition from Islamic Arts Festival at the Lahore Museum

Designing the Future: Decolonization, Disruption, and the Art of Creating Your Own Seat at the Table The inaugural DesignMeets Café Talk wasn’t just a conversation; it was a call to action. On a brisk January evening, as Toronto’s streets turned to ice, design minds gathered in the warm embrace of Ethica Coffee Roasters for a discussion that was anything but lukewarm. The topic? The future of design education, the dismantling of outdated silos, and the necessity of decolonization. Leading the charge was Dr. Lesley-Ann Noel, the newly minted Dean of Design at OCAD University, with systems thinker and design strategist Michael Dila steering the conversation. https://designmeets.ca/event-summaries/cafe-talks-1-recap
