About D4PG

This Year’s Theme
We invite you to join us as we experiment with ideas, activate our curiosity, and focus our collective genius towards seeding CREATIVE FUTURES.
Our conference theme, Creative Futures, is an all call for those who believe it is still possible to effect the change we want to see in the world.
To imagine the futures, we want to see ourselves in, Octavia Butler reminds us that everything is shifting, and the world as we know it has changed. We are in a constant state of change. Gloria Anzaldoúa reminds us that nothing happens in the 'real world' unless it first happens in our heads. As Thatanka Iyotake says, let us put our heads together and see what life we can make for our children.
