Join Us For 20 Questions!

At DS4SI, we use questions to challenge our assumptions about everyday life and create portals as invitations into the imaginary.

Now, as we turn 20, we’re celebrating with 20 Questions, a space where artists, activists, academics, neighbors, youth, and the broader community explore provocative ideas together.

20 Questions is a 4-week celebration (Sept 27–Oct 19) with activations happening Thursdays–Sundays at Hibernian Hall and beyond.

True to our history of blending art and activism, 20 Questions will invite fellow tricksters and troublemakers to experience the 20 questions, share insights, and engage in social interventions through rigorous play and conversation.

THE HUB

The Hub is, in many ways, a pop-up version of DS4SI designed to welcome old and new friends of the Studio as we celebrate our 20th anniversary. It is a creative space where participants get a hands-on chance to learn about the Design Studio’s work from the past 20 years through the lens of 20 Questions we pose as a way to activate new ways of thinking together.

 

Come join us at The Hub!

Hibernian Hall, 184 Dudley Street, Roxbury, MA.
