Anique Vered : Decolonising Design in Practice

Anique Vered speaking at Social Design Sydney's Decolonising Design in Practice event March 4th, 2021. _____ As practitioners who want to contribute to ethical, inclusive, equitable change, enabling futures that are non-oppressive, non anti-black, and trans-inclusive, it is critical that we examine our unquestioned assumptions about the nature of our praxis. To date, mainstream design has been dominated by a focus on Anglo-European ways of seeing, knowing, and acting in the world, with little attention being paid to the honouring of indigenous knowledges and practices or alternative and marginalised discourses from the non Anglo-European sphere. Join us for this very special event were we will hear from 3 expert practitioners discussing decolonisation and design in practice. ++ Anique Vered Anique will open the evening with a presentation entitled Stepping into decoloniality: an introduction to offer attendees an accessible entry point into the decolonial landscape.
