A wholly collaborative BIPOC-led organization and self-proclaimed “democratic network,” Dark Matter University (DMU) was founded with the mission to “work inside and outside of existing systems to challenge, inform, and reshape [the] present world for a better future.” At the core of DMU is a volunteer effort divided into three key working groups: People, Content, and Opportunity. It originated as an urgent push for an anti-racist model of design education and practice, achieved by creating new forms of knowledge, community, institutions, practice, and design itself.
