Destiny Brady

Brady seeks opportunities where Black people can author their own stories. Countering the lack of robust and nuanced representation of Black people and their experiences in many institutions, Brady aims to highlight love, legacy, happiness, kindness, intelligence, heritage, ease, and joy. Since receiving her architecture degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Brady centers the question of “What if we were all wiped from this earth, what would be left of us?” to help guide her practice.
 
She has held a residency with the National Public Housing Museum, Chicago Art Department, and Contextos Gallery in Chicago. Her work has been featured in The Black Joy Project, Culture ICON, and Braided Magazine. Since completing her McMullan Arts Leadership internship in the Art Institute of Chicago’s Architecture and Design curatorial department, Brady is following her internship with a Masters in Curating Contemporary Design at Kingston University in London, United Kingdom. Her education and career pursuits are aimed toward her own architecture and design practice The Kids Are From The Future (TIKA Studios).
