Design and Culture October 13, 2020 Joshua Falcon 9 citations
This article argues that psychedelic experiences and altered states of consciousness can serve as decolonial tools for designing consciousness, potentially helping to reorient human social and environmental relations toward ontologies of relatedness and interconnectedness. It examines how such states might challenge modernist and colonial thought, building on radical design and decolonial theory to envision new ways of being that transcend design's modern philosophical inheritances.
