Description:

Let’s design and print a decolonial publication!Design and visual communication have a direct impact in the creation and development of cultures. Why is it that design has not formally worked towards practices of decolonization? How can design and visual communication formally engage with decolonial methodologies and practices? How do we critically approach eurocentric imperatives in knowledge production such as graphic design, urban design, etc? This course will study decolonization in design and visual communication, particularly design practices and methodologies. Class will be divided into three sections: land, equity and new possible futures. As a leading project, this course will work in collaboration with CCA’s Decolonial School by analyzing and synthesising decolonial practices resulting in the design, production and publishing of a printed publication.
