MLK, Rihanna, and the Evolving Landscape of Design Discourse
Designers can draw inspiration from various elements, including artworks, photographs, or even the human emotions and stories that reside behind each project. This allows for a more profound and meaningful experience, as the design connects with its audience on a deeper level. Similarly, examining how other aspects of design, like performances and stage design, can offer valuable insights for memorial designers. In the AIP podcast, host Melissa Daniel and Christina Sturdivant Sani, native, wife, and mother, known for her exceptional work in esteemed publications like the Washington Post and CityLab, discusses Rihanna's halftime show at the 2023 Super Bowl, focusing on the design of the performance set. We also discuss the MLK Memorial design competition and how "The Embrace," underwent noticeable transformations from its initial rendering to its final design.
