DMU received a Graham Foundation grant to publish a book based on the lecture and workshop delivered for students at UC Berkeley and California College of the Arts in fall 2022. We are seeking a graphic designer (ideally from within DMU, or DMU adjacent!) for this collaborative project.

We envision the graphic designer working closely in collaboration with Tonia, Bz, Shalini, Lisa, and Shawhin and our grant partner, Iker Gil, in executing and refining the book design. We anticipate the book containing about 10,000 words, images, and workshop material.

Interested folx should have professional graphic design expertise, an established portfolio, and have completed book publication projects including experience working with printers and setting documents that are print-ready.

In this groundbreaking edition, Dark Matter U was invited to co-author, design, and co-edit this special issue, shedding light on the incredible work of their talented members who are redefining the world of architecture.

Dark Matter U's mission is to reshape the architectural landscape, championing social justice, inclusivity, collectivity, equity, diversity, and creative brilliance.

From rich contextual urban designs to community-focused projects and thought-provoking essays, "Architectures of Joy, Abundance, and Collectivity" highlights the many ways in which our members engage in anti-racist models of design education and practice!
