Founded in 2020, Dark Matter U is a democratic network guided by the principle that we cannot survive and thrive without immediate change toward anti-racist models of design education and practice. Institutions continue to uphold patterns of supremacy, shaping architectural education and practice. This session will examine the state of academia and its impact on marginalized voices in design. Members of DMU will share practices on anti-racist organizing for design students, drawing from Challenging Patterns of Supremacy, a workbook developed from a 2022 DMU lecture at UC Berkeley. This text weaves movement-building exercises, annotations, and creative footnotes to explore consent, institutions, power, supremacy, and hope. Participants will reflect critically and candidly discuss dismantling these entrenched patterns. Guided by DMU's Principles, New Forms of Knowledge and Knowledge Production & New Forms of Institutions and New Forms of Collectivity and Practice, this session will move beyond theory into action. Small-group discussions will allow participants to engage in a collaborative exercise modeled after the workbook, offering a framework they can adapt and apply in their own spaces. This is not a passive conversation. As academic freedom faces growing threats, we must challenge institutional constraints and reimagine design education on our own terms.
