Many design institutions are interested in diversity and inclusion, but seem unwilling or unable to do the work of “decolonizing” design through a critical engagement with design and culture.

OCAD dean and design anthropologist Dori Tunstall—the first black dean of design in a North American design faculty—proposes that this work consists of two simultaneous actions: the recognition of the intrinsic worth of different cultural ways of “design being,” and the systematic dismantling of current structural hierarchies.

She is joined by designer, photographer, artist, and writer Neebinnaukzhik Southall, Chippewa of Rama First Nation member, and Sadie Red Wing, graphic designer and member of the Spirit Lake Nation.
