Together we will explore the current definition of branding, and study how that definition has changed throughout history.

Taking a close look at what defines our relationships with brands (from everyday signifiers we use to belong to groups, to the ones that create division amongst us), we’ll use an anthropological lens to understand the why behind these relationships, looking into the human need to belong and the unconscious biases that affect them.

Then we will collaborate in a group exercise using our new understanding of belonging and bias to discuss how to create more inclusive brands.

This workshop is being offered on a sliding scale basis, but if none of the options are affordable for you, please send us an email and we’ll try to work something out ❤︎
