The Institute of Black Imagination Podcast

In today’s conversation, Dario sits with urbanist and architect Toni Griffin. Toni’s work asks us to question the design of our neighborhoods, communities, and cities. From values of belonging to voices of protection, Toni’s work calls us to stand in the center of who we say we are while gazing through the cities we claim to love.

n today’s conversation, Bisa tells the stories of African heritage and American homes through the artistry and craft we all know as quilts. Her use of vibrant color and fine fibers reminds us that intentionality, textiles, and choice allow our spirits to be known and rendered as portraits suspended in time and stories are never forgotten.

Today’s episode is a special one. This time, Dario is in the hot seat, in an extremely candid conversation with our inaugural IBI Fellow, Adam Saleh, an anti-disciplinary designer and current senior at UC Berkeley studying computer science and linguistics.
