‘Worlding Papanek: Alumni Taking the Helm' is the first episode of this podcast series based on the event ‘Better design: Talking beyond Papanek’ in collaboration with Design Museum Den Bosch’s exhibition, Victor Papanek: The Politics of Design.

By examining some of the gaps and fragilities into Papanek's thinking, we attempt to project it towards new possible futures with a critical yet constructive view. From a different time and with current tools, we address three key critical elements/gaps of Papanek's approach: feminism, queerism, orientalism. Together with the Design Academy Eindhoven graduates Lydia Hwang, Serina Tarkhanian and Dae Uk Kim, we focus on the notion of otherness and worlding in Papanek’s work, or the lack thereof and think of other futures by taking a closer look at their graduation projects.

'Beyond Universal Design: Design from atypical lives' is the second episode of this podcast series based on the event ‘Better design: Talking beyond Papanek’ in collaboration with Design Museum Den Bosch’s exhibition, Victor Papanek: The Politics of Design.

In this episode, we have a critical look into the notion of ‘enabling’ in Papanek’s work and extend the notion of designed ‘for’ to designed ‘with’. This draws from the larger theme of designing for people’s needs (rather than their wants or artificially created wants).

This episode brings together Simon Dogger, inclusive designer, and Initiators of the project FysiekFabriek; Aurore Brard (inclusive designer) and Lotte de Haan (social designer), in discussion around what it means to design with others. They shared their experiences on using design to think through the built environment with and for people with disabilities.

Thinking Beyond Papanek: Decolonizing Design Education: What's on now and next?

' is the third episode of this podcast series based on the event ‘Better design: Talking beyond Papanek’ in collaboration with Design Museum Den Bosch’s exhibition, Victor Papanek: The Politics of Design.

As a design practitioner and educator, Victor Papanek’s perception has contributed to formulating a large part of the western design discourse for the industry and education. However, his approach to deploying ‘other’ cultures into his narrative left space to reflect on the decolonial visions in design education and academia. Moderated by Ama van Dantzig (social entrepreneur and co-founder of Dr. Monk), and with guests Dr. Luiza Prado de O. Martins (founding member of Decolonising Design) and Dr. Michael Andrés Forero (Doctoral Researcher at Curatorial Research Collective, TU/e), we explore what ‘Decolonizing Design Education’ means in the context of Victor Papanek’s heritage.

The original event was streamed online on 18 March 2021 as an open discussion on Zoom.
