Vision

Social Redress is a cultural design studio, and alternative learning and production infrastructure that leverages sociocultural research and skills-based learning to reinvigorate American cultural, national, and economic identity by championing academic/industrial cooperation and by promoting material and knowledge production on a local scale.

Values

  • Critical, Collaborative, Constructive*

  • American Possibility

  • Mentorship

  • Ethical Capitalism

Mission

We believe that the American culture is a direct reflection of the people designing and building it. Therefore, we're all about production—producing products and knowledge. We take a center-right, pro-American approach to facilitate skills competency and ingenuity in the creative and cultural sectors.  Social Redress provides a curated collection of projects and services to provide a low-risk/high-reward alternative-education pathway to personal, skills, and national development.

Objectives

  1. Bridge the age-old theory/practice gap between academia and industry

  2. Fortify the economic and social value of  skilled labor within the creative fields

  3. Sponsor the collaborative cultivation of knowledge, cultural curiosity, and ingenuity

  4. Destabilize institutionalized gatekeeping of expertise and reconstitute epistemic authority around competence and potential.
