Project outline
Our aim is to create new educational material within the theme of art/ design for high school and university students. These educational resources can reshape how design is taught, ensuring that all students learn about a wide range of influences and understand the interconnectedness of ideas across time and continents. This material will be published both in books and as free, online resources.
How we will get there:
Collaboration: Teams of contributors from all parts of the world working together.
Research: Examining historical documents, publications, and artifacts to identify points of influence from Africa.
Interviews and presentations: Collecting firsthand accounts from designers, anthropologists, historians, researchers, curators, and educators.
Digital mapping: Creating interactive visualizations to illustrate the interconnectedness of design influences.
