XCOLONIAL DESIGN GROUP
ANEːK A Post/Decolonial Design Booklet
Building community across postcolonial and decolonial scholars in various design fields.
৴ Disciplines are by definition based on territorial epistemologies: studying the borders doesn’t lead necessarily to border thinking . . . unless scholars engage in epistemological disciplinary disobedience and bring to the fore the existential experience of dwelling in the border ৴ Walter D. Mignolo, 2000

READING GROUP
Themed provocations ~ informal discussions
৴ Just as none of us is outside or beyond geography, none of us is completely free from the struggle over geography. That struggle is complex and interesting because it is not only about soldiers and cannons but also about ideas, about forms, about images and imaginings ৴ Edward W. Said, 1993

GATHERINGS
Working through convening objects and networks ~ Courses ~ Picnics
৴ The question arises, what makes a public “counter?” Is a counterpublic based on a shared marginal identity, or is an expression of counterideologies necessary? What if certain subgroups within a “counterpublic” do not share the same counterideologies or participate in the production of counterdiscourses? Does the label “counterpublic,” in its multiple uses, help us understand the heterogeneity of marginalized groups? ৴ Catherine Squires, 2002
