Abstract:
There is an imminent need to challenge the Eurocentric narratives in Speculative and Critical Design and introduce alternatives, a post-speculative and critical design approach that considers pluriversal perspectives. To explain this, Deepa will present the ingenious making practices from the Global South. She introduces the term critical jugaad as a decolonizing methodology through various representation, discourse, and practice, particularly at the intersection of the Global South and critical design. This investigation of critical jugaad, consequently, leads to exploring a postnormal design framework. Her research aims to answer how we move beyond a western logic of criticality in design through critical jugaad. +
