Vinay Kumar Mysorecommunity designer/researcher


Communities already hold the truest, most useful stories of themselves. My work is coauthorship: building alongside communities so their stories become exhibitions, publications, plans, and futures they recognize as their own.

I'm co-founder of In Good Company, a community design studio built on coauthorship. We make exhibitions and publications, run community consultations, and practice collective futuring with the institutions and neighborhoods we serve — planning the future with communities instead of for them.
