POR // Depatriarchize Design for Social and Planetary Restoration. Female and Dissident Voices in Latin American Design

Jan 31, 2024

A pesar de los avances logrados por las mujeres, la comunidad lgbtqia+ y las voces disidentes que conquistan espacios dentro de la industria del diseño, las mesas de toma de decisiones siguen siendo predominantemente blancas y masculinas. Esta disparidad da como resultado que sólo se cuente una narrativa parcial, y es desde este punto de vista que Diseña Colectiva emerge como una plataforma que se embarca en avenidas frescas y diversas en el diseño, arraigadas en la colectividad. Su objetivo es construir espacios de resistencia, cuidado y expresión buscando otras formas de diseño. En esta charla, Andrea y Taína nos invitarán a mirar el diseño abajo una mirada diferente, que refleja diversas experiencias y desafía el status quo. Mientras nos guían a través de un mapa del sistema que muestra cómo han tejido una comunidad durante los últimos tres años, compartirán cómo el diseño colectivo y multidisciplinario puede tener un impacto positivo en la sociedad, el planeta y nuestras comunidades.
