Cultural Resilience Through Storytelling, presented by London Design Biennale
Across the Global South, historic cultural trajectories have been interrupted by processes of colonialism and the imposition of neoliberal development. With a focus on the African continent, this talk discusses how design – locally and globally – can be used to strengthen narratives that have been broken or undermined and to bring to the surface richer and more complete stories.
