North America PDC Place

Where
Co-located at Detroit, Michigan and Stamps School of Art and Design building in Ann Arbor, Michigan, University of Kentucky campus, Lexington and the University of Toronto, Toronto.

When
August, 2022. Activities pre-, during- and post- the Newcastle meeting

Why
Exhibition on Detroit research is an event planned by Deepa Butoliya at UMich and we are hoping to coincide the event with events from PDC as a PDC place. The exhibition will also have a symposium with workshops and panels spread across the two locations. We will host workshops based on PD concepts.

At Lexington, we would invite researchers working in the field of Participatory Action Research and Participatory Design to engage with the exhibition in Detroit and the accepted work at PDC.
We will accommodate virtual and in-person participation.
