Hold It Dear: Co-Designing the Preservation of Cultural Artifacts

This creative arts project, in collaboration with students from the existing Mayo Mentorship Program, will co-design a framework for community engagement to facilitate participatory activities with a Columbus-area community organization, leveraging a co-design approach to uncover and preserve tangible and intangible cultural artifacts community members hold dear. It aims to increase the visibility of Ohio State’s design program within central Ohio and build capacity for prospective first-generation students to engage in the type of social impact the design discipline makes possible.
