How do we maintain the integrity of Alaska Native art in a design ecosystem that frequently requires non-Native designers to produce Alaska Native design elements? AIGA and the Anchorage Museum host an open roundtable to discuss design equity and inclusion, challenge expectations of diversity, and advance conversations about cultural resilience in our community.
