In 2019, the Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art mounted DesignInquiry: Futurespective, a celebration of DesignInquiry, a non-profit educational organization that explores pressing issues in design and culture. The exhibition was staged as a series of installations that demonstrated how DesignInquiry engages in open-ended extra-disciplinary exchange and traced the organization's activities over more than a decade of existence.

On the occasion of the exhibition, DesignInquiry published the first edition of Collaboration with Ghosts to Draw and Write which documents a series of efforts in various locales to commune and make/do with phantom partners.

DesignInquiry's international Collaborative Ghost-Drawing-and-Writing experts, and contributors to this publication, include Anita Cooney, Denise Gonzales Crisp, JeanAnn Guetter, Margo Halverson, Emily Luce, Kate Luce, Gabrielle Esperdy, Arzu Ozkal, Rod Sayers, and Gail Swanlund
