Dismantling Injustice:

Ongoing Exhibition

BBE has elevated and proclaimed the greatness of 250 diverse designers through our 15 SAY IT LOUD Exhibitions to date. The goal initially was to reach 500 in 5 years. The urgency for this content is NOW and as we discuss the books that must be removed from the curriculum, we are looking to make a meaningful addition. We will publish a Great Diverse Designers textbook and create a directory for business opportunities for the featured designers.

This call for action is setting a goal of increasing the content of the library to both serve as a directory for business opportunities for the featured designers and material for the publication of our textbook.

Our goal is to double the profiles to reach the goal of 500.

When we began we had 34% of the US is represented in the library, today we have 68%, we want to reach a full 100%. In addition to representing the United States, we are aiming to represent a global community of designers. Currently we have 411 featured diverse designers of the 500 we are targeting.
Therefore we are seeking submissions from Caribbean islands and from each inhabitable continent.
