Deem is a biannual print journal and online platform focused on design as social practice.

Issue One uses adrienne maree brown’s Emergent Strategy as a framework for reassessing our relationships to design and to change.
Through positioning design as a social practice, dignity becomes our lens for considering various global perspectives on co-living, architecture, and hyperlocal food systems. An interdisciplinary and multigenerational group of contributors lend their points of view on what "Designing for Dignity" might mean.

The contributors to our first issue include:

adrienne maree brown, Alice Grandoit, Alicia Ajayi, Anjali Pinto, Arianna Gil, Aseem Inam, Caroline Tompkins, Cruz Garcia, Elke Krasny, Emiliano Gandolfi, Emma Osore, Erik Groszyk, Guarionex Rodriguez Jr., Hilary Malson, Ingrid LaFleur, Isabel Flower, Joal Stein, Jonathan González, Jorge Vallecillos, Korsha Wilson, Marquise Stillwell, Michael Fox, Milton Curry, Monica Flores, Nathalie Frankowski, Nu Goteh, Sam Holleran, Sara Leimbach, Sara Pooley and Sarah Treleaven.
