Abstract

What does it mean to have and sustain a decolonial design practice in the aftermath of political rupture? With an emphasis on elevating the heterogeneity of scale, dynamics, and lived realities, this work focuses on the ways designers and technologists determine the orientation of their worldmaking practices. This work prompts designers and technologists to consider the diverse range of politics of a locale in their efforts toward decoloniality.
