Description: | I would like to begin by defining what I mean by the term decolonisation. Decolonisation itself means different things to different people, including within the Decolonising Design (DD) research group, of which I am a founding member. Moreover, what is meant by decolonisation changes based on context. Decoloniality is a subversion and transformation of Eurocentric thinking and knowledge; a knowledge produced with and.from rather than about. Decoloniality shatters the familiar; it makes people question; and calls for creating something new rather than an additive inclusion into a certain field. Particularly, I see decoloniality here as coupled with intersectionality-whereas Patricia Collins1 states, 'race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, nation, ability, and age operate ... as reciprocally constructing phenomena that in turn shape complex social inequalities'. |
