Â
What does it mean to design in a post-colonial context? How is decolonization both aspirational and a potentially violent dismissal of heritage? When authority controls memory and legacy is erased in the interest of progress, what gets lost in the process?
Â
Using Singapore as a context, this panel discussion will explore the personal experience of post-colonialism through the lens of design. Just as Singlish (an English-based creole language spoken in Singapore) draws vernacular associations from proximity, climate, and heritage – parallels with design languages emerge from various conditions like lineage, education, external influences, and personal preferences.
