Speculative design for decolonized futures
This workshop aims to encourage participants to think beyond traditional frameworks and design practices, fostering an inclusive approach that acknowledges and honors diverse cultures and worldviews.
We will use Speculative Design to create Design Fictions through hands-on facilitated activities to explore decolonized UX design by imagining alternative futures and examining how current design practices can perpetuate colonial legacies.
The goal of the workshop is to spark creative thinking, critical reflection, and actionable insights on how to build more equitable, inclusive, and culturally sensitive digital experiences today by imagining the future.
