Design (Research) as Radical Social Practice

This lecture by Oliver Vodeb is taken from Counter-Framing Design seminar held at Loughborough University London. It presents Design (Research) as Radical Social Practice, which is also published in the book Radical Intimacies, Designing Non-Extractive Relationalities. This particular talk speaks about some of the key concepts behind our work at Memefest and positions design as research and radical social practice at the same time. It provides a disciplinary critique of design and makes a case for an extra-disciplinary approach as a condition for radical designing. Among other things it explains the methodology used and developed at Memefest, which includes pleasure, intimacy, dialogue, friendship and collaboration. Watch the lecture here:
