Imagining Otherwise

This concept of ‘otherwise’ is a space where, as postcolonial scholar Cristina Rojas has written ‘different narratives [are brought] into contact with each other, allow[ing] the marginalized to reveal their own interpretation, and opens space for accommodation, contradiction, and resistance.’

Here today, I do not offer a solution; there are more questions than answers.

To speak of decolonizing design, we must understand the term decoloniality. But there are different definitions of what decoloniality means.

Decoloniality is based on context. What is defined as decolonizing in a place like the Arab region is different than speaking of decolonizing the institution here in Lithuania, or decolonizing in South Asia for example.
