Equal Society & Politics of Design: Designing inclusion: Who Counts?
Natlab, Friday 23 October 9:45-12:30
In this dialogue session we explore firstly some examples of design that aim to make societies more equal by focussing on design for a specific group that has been overlooked in society. In the second part we engage in dialogue with projects that try to redefine the politics of design by questioning how we design, who we include and what is possible when we make politically informed choices in design.
