In the second part of Virtual Design Festival’s day of talks with What Design Can Do, designer Anoushka Khandwala and fashion curator Sunny Dolat discuss how colonialism has shaped design. Watch live from 2pm UK time.
Khandwala and Dolat will speak to Richard Van der Laken, co-founder of Amsterdam-based design platform What Design Can Do, about how designers can enable radical systemic change to decolonise design practice and education.
The conversation is part of Virtual Design Festival’s collaboration with What Design Can Do, which features three live talks focusing on social justice in design.
