In response to the marginalization of Black people within the design profession, as well as the historic appropriation, erasure, and decontexualization of Black designers, I design a collection of furniture, an archival network of Black designers, and a series of workshops that highlight the history and participation of Black people in the design canon. This thesis is heavily based in research on the Asante semantic and material tradition, as well as critical theory that interrogates the historic cultural exchange between Black people, Modernism, and other design movements. By analyzing the work of contemporary artists and designers operating at the intersection of Blackness and design, I extrapolate four design strategies of Juxtaposition, Intervention, Material and Form Subversion, and Narrative that will provide a framework to design based on authenticity and context, with an aim to facilitate the recontextualization of design for Black people.
