Product Description

Decolonising Design in Africa offers a groundbreaking exploration of design education in Africa through a decolonial lens.By examining the colonial legacies that have shaped design education in Africa, it foregrounds the problematic ways that current pedagogical approaches primarily reflect western values and priorities.This book advocates for integrating Indigenous knowledge, cultural practices, and philosophies into contemporary African design education.It spans a wide geographical and temporal range, from historical analyses of colonial influences to envisioning decolonised African design futures.It delves into diverse aspects including spirituality in design, cultural symbolism, sustainable practices, and the ethical dimensions of decolonising design. Pioneering in its interdisciplinary approach, the book weaves together theoretical discussions, methodological innovations like storytelling, and practical strategies for curriculum reform.It presents inspiring case studies of designers and educators who are actively decolonising their practices.Decolonising Design in Africa is a vital resource for design educators, students, practitioners, and policymakers, not just in Africa but worldwide.It makes a compelling case for reimagining design education in a more inclusive, contextually relevant and socially conscious way.The book's ultimate aim is to cultivate a new generation of designers equipped to address the complex challenges of a decolonising world.
