Navigating A Bipoc Identity Through Solidarity Design Labor, Dave Pabellon
Navigating A Bipoc Identity Through Solidarity Design Labor, Dave Pabellon
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
This short paper uses experiences as a design practitioner, an activist, and a 2nd generation immigrant as a means to understand and define “good work”, and how that work can assist in navigating one’s identity. The “good work” is self-defined by the author as labor produced in solidarity with communities in need of support. Through the obsession with work, albeit “good work”, one can ultimately lose sight of their own identity through assimilation. Or at the very least, be forced into a work-first lifestyle where constant code-switching is necessary, which forces the siloing off of each identity lens, never to …
Regenerative Practice As Transformative Design Framework, Yari Or
Regenerative Practice As Transformative Design Framework, Yari Or
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
Regenerative practice is a theory of transformative practice which centers reconnection and being-in-relation as key practices of eco-social change in societies of the global North. It is a practical theory of social change that theorizes the interlinking of the earth's natural ecosystem, social relations and individual well-being. The objective of regenerative practice design is the re-centering of human environments, learning environments, pedagogies, and services towards reconnection, decolonization, and just action now. The short paper outlines a design framework for the emergence of reconnection and being-in-relation as processes that support the decolonization between humans and with more-than-human nature.

Staying Diasporic: Centering Migrant And Diasporic Ways Of Being In Design, Yénika Castillo Muñoz
Staying Diasporic: Centering Migrant And Diasporic Ways Of Being In Design, Yénika Castillo Muñoz
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
Migration and diaspora are phenomenons that are continuously shaping the world, and that are caused and informed by colonial structures. The communities in diaspora are held together by particular ways of imagining and relating with the homeland, the host culture, and themselves, touching back into the local. In the experience of migrating and becoming part of a diaspora, our identities shift, as we enter a state of tension between total assimilation and resistance, questioning our national hegemonic values and ways of being. As a designer with migrated roots, I would like to share some experiences and thoughts about working in …

Narrative-Based Human–Artificial Collaboration: A Reflection On Narratives As A Framework For Enhancing Human–Machine Social Relations, Anca Serbanescu, Mariana Ciancia, Francesca Piredda, Maresa Bertolo
Narrative-Based Human–Artificial Collaboration: A Reflection On Narratives As A Framework For Enhancing Human–Machine Social Relations, Anca Serbanescu, Mariana Ciancia, Francesca Piredda, Maresa Bertolo
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
This paper aims to reflect on human–artificial intelligence (AI) collaboration in cultural production and depicts the collective socio-cultural imaginary focusing on humans’ intrinsic vulnerabilities related to AI systems, which are often perceived as a way of reshaping human presence within contemporary society. Abandoning an anthropocentric perspective, contemporary ecosystems should include non-human and AI systems. Our hypothesis states that their interactions could be reshaped by adopting a narrative framework. Since humans are social animals, if the power of stories is used for embracing plurality', sociality can be extended to include AI systems. Considering such premises, relationships between humans and AI may …
Calendar Collective, Kalyani Tupkary
Calendar Collective, Kalyani Tupkary
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
Calendars increasingly play a fundamental role in establishing our everyday rhythms, shaping our consciousness of temporality. But these tools are not neutral. They codify values and behaviour while obscuring the politics of time embedded in their representation. After all, how we represent time affects how we conceptualize time. Calendar Collective is a design-led research investigation that challenges the normative understanding of time as linear, objective and neutral. In this investigation, I use calendar as a subversive tool to dismantle current hegemonic time structures and rebuild plural structures. As a designer from a previously colonized country, I employ calendar as a …

Mirada Al Futuro A Raíz De Un Experimento Educativo Sobre Diseño Y Género, Marcelo Zambrano, Mariana Salgado, Omar Mendoza, Mari De Mater O’́Neill, Bryan Delgado
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
Actualmente, presenciamos transformaciones en ámbitos interconectados como la educación y el diseño; podemos reconocer estos cambios en la creciente digitalización de procesos educativos, en la amplia oferta virtual de cursos de especialización en diseño o en la diversificación de recursos utilizados en educación y en diseño. Sin embargo, aunque estas temáticas pueden considerarse amplias, aún quedan vacíos reflexivos no abordados a profundidad, como la formación en diseño o las diferentes perspectivas para pensar y hacer diseño. En este contexto, un grupo de diseñadoras decidió organizar una certificación en línea que aborde estas cuestiones desde posiciones críticas planteadas a partir de …
Sustainable Design Education In Mexico: Towards A Non-Colonial Post Anthropocentric Design, Taina Campos Garcia
Sustainable Design Education In Mexico: Towards A Non-Colonial Post Anthropocentric Design, Taina Campos Garcia
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
This article is an extension of my participation in the PIVOT 21 Virtual Conference seeking to deepen the conversation around design for the pluriverses in sustainable design education in Mexico and Latin America. As discussed in the Ancestral Future, El Futuro Ancestral panel of the Conference. We, Designers and actors from the Global South, are in the path of a transition into other ways of doing design, and dismantling the imposing structures, finding inspiration in our ancestral views of the world. The conference and the present research work raise the question of how design and design education in our territories …
Introducing Relationality To Design Research, Jananda Lima
Introducing Relationality To Design Research, Jananda Lima
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
The Design Eurocentric legacy shaped its research practices based on separability and objectification. This paper seeks to reflect on the movement of experimenting and conceiving new methods as the beginning of major changes in the decolonizing design enterprise. The reflection stems from two main concepts: relationality and accountability. By going into the field, embodying other ontologies and epistemologies, I suggest that dismantling assumptions is an enriching and often painful process. It is by embracing uncomfortable positions and by unlearning that designers are able to reimagine design practices for decoloniality. This reflexive exercise is shaped as a conversation between my personal …
Between Borderlands And Intersections: Roñe’E Yvype (We Talk About Land), Pat Vera
Between Borderlands And Intersections: Roñe’E Yvype (We Talk About Land), Pat Vera
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
In this paper I propose land-based design methodologies as a way to un-design the colonial space of the University. I contextualize land-based pedagogy within an embodied practice and thus I address my own positionality as a LatinX Queer Brown Mestiza Woman. In the context of a course that I developed called Re-reading Place, I present a methodology that I define as Land-bordering, which captures the transmission of memories and lived experiences as they connect to the land and the intersections that influenced that experience. I propose a design process of dismantling the colonial structures of modernist design that exacerbate the …
Reflecting On Decoloniality And Justice In Latin American Seed System Transformations, Juan Garzon
Reflecting On Decoloniality And Justice In Latin American Seed System Transformations, Juan Garzon
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
Over the last 20 years, Latin American ‘seed guardian networks’ have become increasingly influential in seed system transformations. This is a recent chapter in the decades old transition of seeds from deeply rooted commons to a global commodity, which constantly favours capitalist industrialism over all other ways of being. The emergence and consolidation of these networks is tied to the intensification of neoliberal reforms that undermine Indigenous, Afro-Latino, peasant, agroecological and organic agricultural practices. As part of this process, outliers connect in distributed networks to fight for the inclusion of their practices and visions, exerting pressure on hegemonic actors to …
Laboratorio Ancestral: Diseño Participativo Y Sabidurías Kichwas En La Amazonia De Ecuador, Lucía Garcés
Laboratorio Ancestral: Diseño Participativo Y Sabidurías Kichwas En La Amazonia De Ecuador, Lucía Garcés
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
El artículo presentado a la Conferencia PIVOT 2021 es una reflexión en base al tema Tiempo linear Vs. Tiempo circular, enfocada en responder a la pregunta ¿Cómo cambiaría el pensamiento del futuro, si adoptáramos la noción de ancestralidad? Para responder a esta pregunta la primer parte del artículo aborda la revitalización de sabidurías ancestrales en nacionalidades indígenas de Ecuador, considerando como problemática la uniformidad de los programas educativos que a llevado a los pueblos indígenas a la asimilación de la cultura occidental. Desde está perspectiva, se propone una alternativa a la revitalización de estos saberes desde un pensamiento (de) colonial, …
A Lesson From Fazal Sheikh’S “Desert Bloom” For Living In A Post-Covid World, Bill Leeming
A Lesson From Fazal Sheikh’S “Desert Bloom” For Living In A Post-Covid World, Bill Leeming
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
We are told that we can expect to live with an assortment of “new normals” at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are also told that living through the COVID-19 pandemic has made us better able to face longstanding challenges such as climate change and inegalitarian social arrangements. In this paper I reflect on what we are being told by drawing on a lesson I have learned from Fazal Sheikh’s 2011 aerial photographic series to locate evidence of Bedouin villages in the Negev desert in the wake of Israeli campaigns in the 1960s to “make the desert bloom.” The …

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 …

Sjalel Lekil Kuxlejal: Mayan Weaving And Zapatismo In Design Research, Diana Albarran Gonzalez, Taller Malacate
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
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
White Skin, Brown Soil: A White Woman’S Search For Identity, Culture, And Belonging On Stolen Lands, Sarah Johnstone
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
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
Pluriversal Design Conference Series
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 …
