This book builds on the work of anthropologists, designers and
ethnographers to develop an original methodology and framework for
Indigenous engagement and designer/non-designer collaboration in
the field of social design. Following a collaborative case study
conducted over a five-year period between the author, project team
and Indigenous artisans in Mexico, the book outlines the practical
challenges of design research, including funding, logistics,
relationships between designers and communities, failures,
successes, and pivots. Social design literature has often focused
on introducing important questions to the design research process,
but fails to deeply interrogate and demonstrate how these theories
inform research projects in action, which can then be open to
misinterpretation, bias and unintended harmful consequences.
Centering the Indigenous communities, this book provides a detailed
and clear example of not just why, but how design and designers can
work authentically and responsibly through different approaches and
systems. The book examines the specific cultural, epistemological
and socio-political history of Mexico as it relates to colonization
and Indigenous peoples, exploring the systemic influences of
globalization and grounding the research in its unique context. It
includes field notes, conversations with the Indigenous artisan
communities, workshops and prototypes to offer unique insight into
a detailed, collaborative social design initiative. This book
intersects with the growing awareness of the necessity of
decolonial approaches to design across the world and will be an
important and useful study for academics, students and researchers
in social design, sustainable development, cultural studies and
anthropology.
