Graphic design for "Social Matter, Social Design — For good or bad, all
design is social“
Social matter, social design challenges the way we look at, think about and
interact with the social
world by emphasising the role of materiality. This expanded field of
engagement requires design to
incorporate a more nuanced and complex reading of how the social is
intertwined with the material,
confronting the often reductive or simplistic notion of 'social design' and
offering new forms of
critical and meaningful engagement at a time of increasing social
contradictions. The essays in this
book explore and reveal uncanny, disconcerting or discordant connections,
bricolages, assumptions or
ruptures at critical junctures for transformation. They are organised around
four main themes: the
body, the earth, the political and technology.
