Drawdown Dialogues (drawdowndialogues.com) is a conversation series between five climate leaders and 14 student designers from Rutgers Design Practicum. Drawdown is a critical turning point for life on earth. This is that moment in the future when greenhouse gases begin to decline. It indicates the reversion of climate change and global warming. Project Drawdown is a solutions-based climate organization whose mission is to understand nature’s means of rebalancing the climate system.

Rutgers Practicum × Internet Archive
14 students in Design Practicum and Internet Archive have collaborated to create a limited edition series of risograph posters. Each person in the course Design Practicum gathered unique collections on the Internet Archive and then adapted their findings into an 11×17 graphic. These were printed on a risograph by the Brooklyn-based studio TXT Books. The first 50 people to sign up on the Internet Archive site received a packet of these tabloid-sized posters.
You can see all prints and descriptions on the Internet Archive’s website by:

Design Faculty Panel: Entanglement
Thursday, November 19, 2020 — 6:00 pm
In quantum physics, the term entanglement refers to the phenomenon of multiple simultaneous elements that are deeply intertwined and only truly known in relation to each other. “Entangled” expresses the interdependent scientific, social and environmental issues that define the current moment and how they are leading to enormous complexity, change, and crisis. Designers will give short presentations exploring how their work considers the interconnection and interaction of multiple realities, in projects that address ecology, technology, and social justice. A panel discussion with Q&A will follow.
