An extradisciplinary investigation into the radical potentials of
design by the global Memefest network. This book is an
investigation of the key aspects of capitalist domination and
resistance to it through design; its five sections explore
dialogue, power, land, interventions, and radical praxis. Vodeb’s
curated chapters engage radical intimacies with design and connects
it with media, communication, and art. Radical intimacies imply a
closeness to the world created through our relations, which work
towards the decolonization of knowledge and the public sphere. The
closeness is political as it involves qualities that constitute and
enable an alternative and opposition to extractive relationalities
imposed by capitalism. Radical Intimacies connects frameworks on
(de)colonization with the work of Memefest, a global network of
people interested in social change through radical design. Bringing
together original written and visual contributions from around the
world, the collection connects universities, practitioners, and
social movements. This book explores design as a central domain of
thought and action concerned with the meaning and production of
sociocultural life. Contributors are interested in design that
operates outside the dominant social orders, narrow disciplines and
extractive paradigms and imagines and builds new worlds and social
relations. An inter/ extradisciplinary collection of original
works, the audience will be academics, artists, designers and
activists and adventurous professionals who are interested in the
crossovers between design, arts, and social change. Students of
design, art, media, and communication interested in social change.
