This episode features Miya Osaki in conversation with Professor Moya Bailey. Osaki shares her experiences working in systems of care including healthcare and the DIY music scene. These experiences led her to chair the Design For Social Innovation MFA program at the School of Visual Arts. Here, Osaki motivates her students to investigate the impact of health on people, systems, and environments within their work. Osaki relates Digital Alchemy to her work in that digital spaces create communities, but there aren’t enough spaces to allow for transparency and agency in these systems.
