Counter Cultures of Design

Taking a look at the articulations that are alternative, non-conformist, challenge the status quo and present a new vision, the theme covers subversive art, DIY movements, punk aesthetics, digital countercultures, and radical design, highlighting their roles in resistance and social commentary within Design History and Design Studies. Southern design practices, including Jugaad, ground-level, and frugal innovation, highlight the need for resource-efficient and socially conscious approaches, which are also welcome.
