    Sudebi Thakurata wins Good Interventions 2024 award

    The project ‘Not-a-Toolkit! Fair Collaboration in Cultural Relations’, led by Sudebi Thakurata with her design collective D.epicentre, for the European Union National Institutes of Culture, has been selected as one of the 15 winners of the Good Interventions 2024 Design Competition by Parsons School of Design.

    This action-research project was to design an intervention that would transform a rather intangible idea or concept of fairness, which is interpreted and manifested in different ways in different contexts and situations, into actionable, implementable choices.  Contrary to the common misconception in the world of international cultural relations of ‘design’ as a static outcome making the toolkit look pretty and attractive after the content is written, the idea of using design has been to question, challenge and shift the very foundation of the work and use design as a dynamic glue, a binder, an inter- connector at every part of the process where dilemmas, as opposed to problems, were used as design principles.

    Also In partnership with the MIT Museum in Cambridge, MA, the Fab Foundation co-hosted a public talk by transdisciplinary designer Sudebi Thakurata, followed by an informal reception. Sudebi’s talk was titled “From Making to Meaning-making: Co-weaving a Tapestry of Narratives with Art, Design & Technology.”   In this talk, Sudebi Thakurata shared insights into how to use the power of lived narratives and experiential perspectives to bring a lens of dignity, fairness, and equity to the interpretation and imagination of design and technology.
