The Study @ Michigan Central

Bringing Architecture, Sound, Product Design & Community into Conversation

How do the spaces, objects, sounds, and experiences around us shape the way we connect?

Moderated by Evan Nicole Brown, a freelance writer for CULTURED, the conversation will feature artist Salam Rida, a 2025 Michigan Central x Newlab Fellow and Detroit Month of Design exhibitor; architect Jaimelyn Neher, a key contributor to The Mezz at Michigan Central; and architect Anthony Morin of AJOM Architecture.

Together, they’ll explore the intersection of architecture, emerging design, audio, product design, and community – considering how creative disciplines can make spaces feel more welcoming, expressive, and alive. Set inside Michigan Central, the conversation reflects the spirit of the evening: a celebration of the visual and performing arts, Detroit’s creative ecosystem, and the power of design to shape the city’s next chapter.

The talk will begin promptly at 6:30PM, followed by a musical performance by EDNA and sound by Bing Audio.
