Description
The Equity Dialogues: How can design support more equitable societies?During Dutch Design Week 2024, an in-depth exploration into the lived experiences and perspectives of the people who designers create their work for was conducted. We looked into complex contexts that feature multiple stakeholders with divergent values and interests, seeking to disclose and amplify a variety of perspectives and voices often underrepresented when it comes to shaping design discourse and practice. We did so by providing a platform for the words, imagery, metaphors and stories of those people who are most affected by the very societal issues and problems that designers are frequently expected to address or solve. By presenting projects that use various forms of storytelling as a way to share lived experiences, we investigated the different roles design(ers) can play in supporting more equitable societies. As such, we sought to challenge designer-user power asymmetries and promote inclusiveness.
