The design arts are public arts, and as such are major vehicles for forming our consciousness...the design activity stands between us and our material existence, affecting not only our visual and physical environment but a sense of ourselves as well... We can look at design and actually read its messages --thus we can locate, create, and use positive models which reject the repressive elements of dominant culture.
-Sheila Levrant de Bretteville
Project M is a program for creative people who are already inspired to contribute to the greater good, and are looking for a platform to collaborate and generate ideas and projects bigger than themselves.

I want to be a part of Project M because I am a visionary designer; one who is rooted in design's conventional role, but who imagines and practices possible roles beyond convention. I am most interested in being with people. Unique perspectives inform how we relate to and understand the world and curiosity is our agency within that world. Curiosity means asking questions. Curiosity means speaking up. Curiosity means searching for more questions. Curiosity is being content in questioning, change, and ambiguity. Curiosity is voice. By talking to each other we shape our own consciousness and create a future based on real people really communicating.
