Design Engagement

This exhibition highlights the work of Joseph Krupczynski, an Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture, and the Director of the office of Civic Engagement and Service Learning (CESL) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. As a designer and public artist, Krupczynski’s work links design, art and culture through participatory platforms that promote imaginative community partnerships—especially in collaboration with underrepresented communities. The exhibition highlights creative work from 2008 – 2018 that explores relational, dialogic and collaborative practices that support new social formations, civic actions and community agency.
