was.is.always: south to north

From 06.11.2016 to 15.11.2016 Workshop

ICoD is pleased to announce the Member Event Was.Is.Always: South to North which will comprise a series of community led workshops in Sweden, Greenland and Denmark bringing together researchers, students, industry, and other organisations involved or interested in Indigenous design. The primary aim of the workshops is to progress discussion towards the realisation of an International Indigenous Design Charter, outlining the appropriate use of Indigenous knowledge in commercial communication design practice. 

Was.Is.Always: South to North is organised by ico-D Member Deakin University (Australia) and sponsored by the Australian Government, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Indigenous Architecture and Design Victoria (IADV), ico-D Member (DIA), Jonkoping University, Ilismatusarfik University and Copenhagen School of Design and Technology.

The event will provide an opportunity for Indigenous participants of each participating nation to showcase their designs, learn and share knowledge of culture and design practice, and build long term academic, professional and social networks.
 

 

 

Having published the Australian Indigenous Design Charter: Communication Design (2016), the conference/workshops will work with local universities and stakeholders to facilitate discussion around establishing a broader international Indigenous design charter.
