Prada and Theaster Gates launch inclusive, experimental design hub
In efforts to further support and counsel artists of color, as well as to help amplify their work, Prada has teamed with artist Theaster Gates to launch an experimental design lab. Located in Southside Chicago, the Dorchester Industries Experimental Design Lab—which was named after Theaster Gates Studio’s design and manufacturing branch—will serve as a platform for Black and brown artists over a three-year period. The mission of the collaboration is to expose underrepresented and formally-trained talent to big players in the industry—Prada is a perfect example. “This is about exposing the people who have great design abilities and ambition to a great design house,” Gates said. During the three-year program, designers will have the opportunity to refine their skills, create projects of their own, and mingle in a larger, more professional network. Though designers will have the chance to flaunt their names in the fashion industry, the program aims to extend beyond the boundaries of fashion design—training and exposure in furniture, industrial, and graphic design industries will also be included.
