Indigenising Design aims to bring together like-minded individuals from across the globe to discuss, unpack and explore the ways in which our world is designed. It celebrates indigeneity and the identities, customs, stories and practices that make indigenous communities unique.

Through indigenising our design practices, we actively dismantle the lasting impacts of colonisation in our built and designed spaces.

The webinar programme runs from November 2024 – September 2025. Each webinar will be recorded and held on our project website – www.indigenisingdesign.org.
