Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- How can design museums be disentangled from systems like patriarchy, so that they become able to support change towards more justice? To explore this question, we use our standpoint as design researchers in combination with a feminist perspective. Historically, most design museums supported a path of progress which supposedly leads straight from the past into the future. Even though today attempts to change design museums can be observed, criteria for good design and methods for collecting and exhibiting mainly stay unchanged. However, when questioning them, it becomes clear that they were shaped by a white, male, imperialist perspective. Through shifting focus and leaving the well-trodden path, we identify three possible paths toward envisioning what we call alternative design museums that might contribute to the bigger struggle for changing the design discipline, and shaping a more just world.

Cultivating metabolic spaces for matters of care at alternative design museums
- 2022

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- About the seminar: Museums, as well as the design discipline, developed in parallel with Western Modernity with its way of forming knowledge and shaping a world. During the second half of the 19th century, design museums were founded in the metropolis of the global North as a method of teaching the notion of quality to producers and consumers alike. Here, the foundation for collections and archives that still have a role in how design is understood, and its history is written. It is histories that still live in understandings of design, it is histories that through design practices create futures. To formulate other histories is to make other futures possible. We would like to invite you to a day where we ask the question how can (design) museum make other histories possible? During the daypractitioners and researchers who have been working with how we can re-learn and re-make museum practices will share insights into their approaches. Together we will then discuss how we can make diverse histories, and therefore diverse futures, possible. Or to put inthe words of the philosopher Bayo Akomolafe: how we can go awkward.

Envisioning alternative design museums
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- How might design museums be dis-entangled from oppressives tructures? And how might they even take part in creating more just futures? This is an invitation to one moment in two sessions in which we will explore these questions. We will patchwork (Lindström & Ståhl, 2014) what we have experienced and what we would like to experience in, with or through design museums. Exploring our own memories can be a way to try to grasp what is often invisible and in the background: systems like hetero patriarchy and white supremacy that the design discipline and its museums are intertwined with (Buckley, 2020; Costanza-Chock, 2020). Based on and inspired by our findings, and through combining ethnography, fiction and participatory design (Ingridsdotter & Kallenberg, 2018; Blomberg & Karasti, 2013), we will place ourselves in what could be an alternative design museum and embark on a fictional guided tour through its rooms.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- From a feminist perspective, the chapter by Anja Neidhardt-Mokoena explores ethics in participatory design workshops. She articulates how ethical questions are generally approached in design research, and then looks at a concrete example to reflect on what doing the right thing(s) might entail.

Generous crowdedness : cultivating space(s) for care at alternative design museums
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Nordes 2023.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The design discipline is implicated in thetrajectories that have led us to an unsustainable present. There is an urgency to re-direct the design discipline, so that it can become able to not onlystay with past and present trouble, but also to develop other futures. To see how design museums might support change rather than preservation, welook to the example of protest archives. Based onan analysis of relational space, we suggest that therelative crowdedness of protest archives emerges out of matters of care, and allows for the development of alternative ways of being and creating. We thus identify a set of qualities that might be used to inform development of alternative spaces for care in design that aim to become able to respond to urgencies and to open up more just futures.
