Find harmony with Amazon Music's equitable design initiative at SCAD 'CATALYST' series
Last year set into motion a new era of collective action in response to racial-ethnic injustices around the world. From communities to corporations, conversations around equity and inclusion are front and center, including at Amazon Music, the streaming service for the world’s largest online retailer. Discover how Xerxes Irani, principal creative director for Amazon Music, plans to drive large-scale societal change through equitable design.
SCAD students and alums will get a candid look at how Irani’s own perspective has evolved in the wake of last year’s racial injustices and learn about his action-oriented initiative to boost awareness and advance inclusivity. After the episode, students can ask Irani questions about his experiences and his plans to encourage awareness through equitable design.
