How do inspiration, material, and memory come together in the hands of a maker? 🤔

In a special partnership between Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) and Center for Architecture + Design, San Francisco, the MAKERS Series returns to spotlight the voices shaping our visual and cultural landscapes. Hosted by Lise de Vito at the Center for Architecture + Design, the series exposes the complexities, experiments, and often raw nature of the creative journey, moving past the finished object to celebrate the act of making itself.

✨ Step into the conversation and connect with fellow creatives, designers, and thinkers from across the Bay Area.
