Bio

Amplifier is a non-profit design lab dedicated to amplifying the voices of social change movements through contemporary art and community engagement. Their experiments are built on a foundation of free and open-source art, human-centered design processes, and the merging of analog and digital technology. They’ve run two campaigns on Kickstarter—one to distribute public protest art at Trump’s inauguration and another to feature diverse historical leaders in classrooms.

This conversation is part of our Signs of Change series highlighting creators who have previously launched activist posters, broadsides, stickers, and zines on Kickstarter and encouraging newcomers to participate in Kickstarter’s open call for projects.
