The Design Studio for Social Intervention (DS4SI) is a space for artists, activists, academics and other social interventionists to reframe, reimagine, and reinvigorate the possibilities of the non-profit sector.

DS4SI borrows methodologies from design practices and implements them in unconventional and innovative ways. DS4SI has worked with urban designers, cultural architects, game designers, performance artists, and youth to translate design theory into large urban games, block parties, silkscreened t-shirts, political campaigns, and interactive spatial installations.

On-going projects include: the Youth Activism Design Institute, The Cultural Commons Project, Bodies Borders and Boundaries, and artists-in-residence.
