Indigenising Design Webinar Series | Webinar Two: Decolonising Global Systems | 24 February 2025

In the second Indigenising Design webinar, the panel discussed some of the common indigenous practices they have used in international collaborations that centre Indigeneity and look to shape a more positive future. Together they explored the slow death of capitalism, recognising the strengths of both country-led and specific knowledge as well as the shared experiences of the global whānau whānui (extended family).

Host and speaker biographies DR JOHNSON WITEHIRA Dr. Johnson Witehira is a leading Māori innovator working across art, design, technology, and game development. As a Director of IDIA and PAKU, and a board member of the NZ Game Developers Association and The National Digital Forum, Johnson focuses on bringing Indigenous knowledge and creative thinking into contemporary design practices. His work spans multiple domains, from developing innovative AR experiences featuring atua Māori to revitalizing tribal narratives through community-driven projects in the Ruapehu district. A key aspect of his mahi is the indigenisation and decolonisation of design, ensuring that Māori perspectives, values, and tikanga are at the forefront of the creative process. In all his projects, Johnson is committed to ensuring that Māori stories continue to flourish in design and digital spaces.

PROFESSOR BRIAN MARTIN As an Indigenous scholar and arts practitioner Brian Martin has extensive experience in visual arts and Indigenous knowledge systems. His research has focused on artistic practice-led research and how Indigenous ways of knowing reconfigure new materialism and the knowledge economy in general. As a practising artist for twenty-seven years, Brian has been exhibiting his work for approximately twenty years, both nationally and internationally. In addition to the above, his artistic practice has investigated the traditions of western painting and drawing whilst materialising his cultural background in its conceptual basis. It is this extensive experience of oscillating between different world views that has seen his expertise cover a broad spectrum within Indigenous knowledge production across various disciplines. His traditional research outputs and publications have been in the field of Indigenous knowledge, decolonial theory and art practice/theory.
