Design Struggles - Claudia Mareis, Nina Paim plants given how much more weThis publication offers a critical assessment of the complicity of design in creating, perpetuating, and reinforcing social, political, and environmental problems, both today and in the past. moreIt proposes going against the grain by problematising Western notions of design to foster situated, decolonial, and queer feminist modes of disciplinary self critique, and looks at design through the intersections of gender, culture, ethnicity, and class.
