Ep. 133: Design Not Guns

This is the story of how design is making the world a better place, one street at a time, in the most impoverished gang ravaged neighborhoods in El Salvador. Recorded in May 2020 during WantedDesign Manhattan’s Online Conversation Series, designer Roberto Juárez, co-founder of Lero Studio in San Salvador, discusses how he is helping 10- to 15-year-old at-risk children to embrace design rather than gang membership. Roberto is joined by Bernhardt Design’s Jerry Helling and our very own Amy Devers.Polish Cultural Institute New York The POLKI Hidden Power exhibition is organized by The Spirit of Poland foundation and WantedDesign NY, in partnership with the Polish Cultural Institute New York.
