Tristan Schultz : Decolonising Design in Practice

Описание: Tristan Schultz speaking at Social Design Sydney's Decolonising Design in Practice event March 4th, 2021.
_______________________

As practitioners who want to contribute to ethical, inclusive, equitable change, enabling futures that are non-oppressive, non anti-black, and trans-inclusive, it is critical that we examine our unquestioned assumptions about the nature of our praxis. To date, mainstream design has been dominated by a focus on Anglo-European ways of seeing, knowing, and acting in the world, with little attention being paid to the honouring of indigenous knowledges and practices or alternative and marginalised discourses from the non Anglo-European sphere.

Join us for this very special event were we will hear from 3 expert practitioners discussing decolonisation and design in practice.

++ Tristan Schultz (Relative Creative)
Tristan will share a small collection of case studies of recent professional practice-based projects that illustrate how decolonising design can be applied in social design, sustainability and place making settings.
