It’s live! As part of my fellowship at the @V_and_A I've had the incredible chance to facilitate this project, exploring how digital design can be used collectively for political means. External contributors produced a 20 minute research film + a series of writing - check it out:

[V&A @V_and_A]

How can museum practices broaden access to digital design? The Open-Source Speculum research project looks at this question in more detail, whilst considering social and political questions entangled within an object’s inception.

These "dysfunctional" pots by @AnouskaSamms are defined by the many strands of human hair that decorate them.

// With a special shout-out to the mighty @AnouskaSamms for her efforts in bringing such an impressive group of thinkers together in this project, and arguing that the design of materials is always a political act. In the words of @gynepunk, "Now the witches have the flames." 🔥

Gigantic thank yous to my project leads @nd_kane and @always__curious. It's been an honour. The research film was edited by the brilliant Nai Sukanant and animated by the very talented @grace_quah.
