RLI Pillars
RLI is organized around three key pillars: intersections, equity, and community.
These pillars represent a throughline connecting the activities and discussions that will take place during the six-day program.
Liberatory Design for Equity Process
The Liberatory Design for Equity Process includes three habits and eight modes. The habits are: see, engage, act.
The eight modes are: see the system, empathize, define, inquire, imagine, prototype, try, and notice & reflect.
We will explore the habits and modes over the course of the week.

Liberatory Design
Liberatory Design is a creative problem-solving approach and practice that centers equity and supports us to design for liberation. It is made up of mindsets and modes. Liberatory Design generates self-awareness to liberate designers from habits that perpetuate inequity, shifts the relationship between the people who hold power to design and those impacted, fosters learning and agency for those involved in and influenced by the design work, and creates conditions for collective liberation.
