"As a graduate student at California College of the Arts in San Francisco, Robyn Waxman became fascinated with the next generation of designers' role when it came to protest and civil disobedience, a place designers and artists have been focusing their efforts for centuries. Studying millennials, who are generally considered to be a group of participatory, positive, technologically-savvy 18- to 30-year-olds, revealed some interesting insights: This was a generation that had solid respect for the law and was reluctant to publicly criticize the status quo. "[They] are really concerned about defying authority," says Waxman, who is 39. "They are looking out for their future." As her thesis, Waxman proposed an intervention that helped redefine protest for the rising creative group--a form of engagement that would help educate and inspire them in how to take action."
