Summary
In this talk, Dr Dori Tunstall will address technological and racist biases in the mythology of the European modernist project in design. She will demonstrate how the dismantling of those biases is crucial to decolonising and removing the hierarchies in design that undermine the importance of Indigenous and others' cultural sovereignty. She will conclude with key takeaways for design students to reorient their practice towards making for liberatory joy.
