<p dir="ltr">InterDesigning Network Report. Partially funded by INTER creative explorations: A positioned and relational research project towards decolonising design education. CAI RDF-Fund: 9483-3728607.</p><p dir="ltr">As Principal Investigator, I explored the question: <i>How could intersectional feminist creative research support decolonising design education?</i> Using decolonial and intersectional feminist methodologies, my collaborators and I investigated culturally-responsive and context-based pathways to decolonise design education curricula and practices. </p><p dir="ltr">This report shows the work of the InterDesigning Network, in which I am a co-founder. Our diverse positionalities—as settlers, migrants, individuals of mixed heritage, and native peoples—shaped our approach as we walked alongside (<i>acompañamiento</i>) Indigenous communities in our countries of birth and residence. This relational participation enabled the emergence of shifting subjectivities that informed both our research and praxis, contributing to a deeper understanding of how design education can be transformed through intersectional and decolonial lenses.</p>
