Description
This year, the Politics of Design theme aims to confront some of the overlooked and subtle ways that power manifests in design. We build upon last year's exploration of the relationships between design, power, and justice, and we aim to delve deeper by encouraging personal reflection and community building.To do this, we will facilitate participatory mapping and discussion sessions to draw out participants' own questions, perspectives, and insights around four topics: positionality of the designer, design processes, design research, and design languages. Our goal is to reflect together on the hidden working of power in assumptions, biases, terminologies, and dynamics.
The format of this interactive afternoon is intended to foster reflection, dialogue, and community building. Rather than propose top-down solutions, we seek participants willing to share their views and to adopt other lenses for recognizing and addressing issues of power and politics in their own design practices. Our hope is that this gathering sparks further interrogation within the field and builds capacity for more conscious, inclusive, and socially just design.
