DEMO2024 Keynote Presentations serve as the meeting point between various disciplines, areas of inquiry, creative practices, generations, and career levels. Our invited speakers share their knowledge to bring further context to the ideas and projects incubated at NEW INC, as well as offer an additional perspective garnered from experience, passion, and illuminating creative work in their own fields.

Council Member Chi Ossé delivers his keynote in alignment with the principles of our Cooperative Studies Track. In this keynote, Ossé will share knowledge on envisioning new structures that center collectivity and applying such principles to local work relevant to his background in activism, community organizing, and focus on implementing innovative and human-centered solutions in solving New York’s housing crisis.
