In our paper we contrast the idea(l) of an education that aims at community and planetary wellbeing with the current educational reality in South Africa. Drawing on our initiatives to integrate local indigenous knowledges (including use of home language) with the Western curriculum we address the question how to approach educational transformation despite and within the given educational context. We do this through telling our narrative stories as well as reflections on our research project geared towards bottom-up decolonisation. We offer this paper as an invitation to researchers worldwide to engage in scholarly debate around issues on decolonisation.
Participatory Site-Specific Performance To Discuss Climate Change And Water Pollution, Marija Griniuk
Participatory Site-Specific Performance To Discuss Climate Change And Water Pollution, Marija Griniuk
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
The phenomenon explored in this research is participatory site-specific performance art, themed around eco-violence, climate change and water pollution, which is discussed within a framework of the decolonisation of knowledge through arts-based action research and a pluriversal approach to participants’ experiences. The two case projects were conducted with youth and children aged 6-13 y.o. from Kaunas, Lithuania. The data gathered during the two case projects include photo and video documentation and my notes. Via the examples of the provided cases, the present study explores how the transcorporeality of the space and site of a participatory site-specific performance can be used …

Situated in the highlands of Chiapas, southeast Mexico, this research seeks to contribute to decolonising textile artisanal design and the recogni:on of Indigenous design alongside Mayan Tsotsil and Tseltal weavers in search of a fair-dignified life, Lekil Kuxlejal. Using tex:les as sources of rich knowledge and research metaphor, a woven methodological approach is developed by interlacing decolonial theory and design from the Global South. Furthermore, drawing from Indigenous onto-epistemologies such as corazonar, Zapa:smo and Buen Vivir (good living, collec:ve well-being), this study presents a new approach to tex:les as resistance combined with Mayan cosmovision, and is in alignment with the …
I Hate Creativity, Patricia Kovic
I Hate Creativity, Patricia Kovic
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
We love creativity. Everybody loves creativity and everybody wants a “Culture of Creativity.” However, there is strong evidence that we do not even like creativity, especially under stressful conditions. Creativity thrives in conditions of uncertainty, vagueness of purpose and psychological discomfiture — conditions that can be unbearable when added to the current anxieties of a shrinking academic landscape, the pandemic, let alone wicked problems like the climate crisis. We are terrified in these traumatic circumstances, so we shrink away from creativity toward the safety of what is known, understood and proven. As a result, Proxy Creativity emerges — one that …

White Skin, Brown Soil: A White Woman’S Search For Identity, Culture, And Belonging On Stolen Lands, Sarah Johnstone

This research responds to the eventual (and very necessary) process of dismantling and unlearning the white Australian culture in favour of pluriversal, decolonial, and relational ecologies. However, the ways in which we go about collectively re-imagining this future is unclear. This research documents my own personal journey to explore and integrate my Celtic ancestry so that it can be a source of wisdom and inspiration for assisting myself and other white people for co-creating regenerative and pluralistic futures alongside indigenous and culturally diverse migrants on the lands of so-called Australia. This study is contextualised through a brief reflection on an …

Rearticulaciones: Desmantelar Y Reensamblar El Futuro-Pasado Desde La Perspectiva Del Diseño Del Sur, Fernando Alberto Álvarez Romero

La idea de las rearticulaciones y nuevos conceptos propuestos parte de entender que como civilización estamos atravesando por una crisis nunca antes conocida de la existencia en el planeta (Escobar 2019, Fry 2012). La especie humana ha alterado los ciclos naturales1, asimismo, su manera de relacionarse entre sí ha conllevado una crisis social reflejada principalmente en la desigualdad, que se ha convertido en un ciclo que repercute en el deterioro ambiental2. De allí que se requieren plantear y hacer ingentes esfuerzos por desmantelar y rearticular las acciones humanas negativas para nosotros mismos y el ambiente pero esta vez de otro …

DRS Conference Volumes
This volume contains the proceedings for Pivot 2021, the 2nd International conference of the Pluriversal Design Special Interest Group of the Design Research Society (DRS). The conference was held in collaboration with the Public Visualization Lab of OCAD University and invited designers, scholars, artists, and changemakers for two days of intercultural conversations about decoloniality and societal transformation. Pivot 2021 aimed to identify tools and practices of dismantling and reassembling that could favour ways of reshaping human presence on Earth and concrete cases of alternative future-making from all around the world.
