Epicenter is excited to announce our participation in this year’s Salt Lake Design Week in partnership with Field Studio! Join us at Woodbine Food Hall on Tuesday, October 24th from 6-8PM for a book release, film screening, work by Epicenter, and an exhibition of design research and work by Field Studio students:

-Epicenter’s book Why This Place?: A Future-Forward Retrospective is a non-exhaustive (yet 200 page) exploration of the uncharted territory we have mapped in our first decade of work with the twofold goal of elevating the underrecognized design work being done in rural places and self-reflection and analysis.

-Come Home to Green River, a film by Chris Merchant, captures the collaborative culture of Epicenter through the magic of our 2022 Spring Summit. The film will be screened at 7PM inside the food hall and has a 12 minute running time.

-Students in the Division of Multi-disciplinary Design Field Studio, working with Epicenter this semester, will be exhibiting recent work exploring design interventions for Green River’s unique opportunities–and universal rural challenges–such as tourism, housing, public spaces, and more.

This event is in conjunction with Salt Lake Design Week.
