In just ONE DAY , NOMA Detroit is hosting the Design Justice Exhibition on Wednesday, September 30, from 3-6pm ! 👏🏾 Located in the Erma L. Henderson Auditorium.

This exhibition focuses on community-based projects and initiatives completed or underdevelopment by our local NOMA members. With these projects, we hope to move the needle towards prioritizing community-led and collaborated decisions regarding how buildings and spaces are designed and implemented. These projects and proposals attempt to shift the decision-making power to the people who are most affected by systemic inequities, ensuring spaces reflect their cultural memory and needs.
