This book examines, through an interdisciplinary lens, the
relationship between political dissent and processes of designing.
In the past twenty years, theorists of social movements have noted
a diversity of visual and performative manifestations taking place
in protest, while the fields of design, broadly defined, have been
characterized by a growing interest in activism. The book's premise
stems from the recognition that material engagement and artifacts
have the capacity to articulate political arguments or establish
positions of disagreement. Its contributors look at a wide array of
material practices generated by both professional and
nonprofessional design actors around the globe, exploring case
studies that vary from street protests and encampments to design
pedagogy and community-empowerment projects. For students and
scholars of design studies, urbanism, visual culture, politics, and
social movements, this book opens up new perspectives on design and
its place in contemporary politics.
