Women of the Bauhaus
Alice Twemlow writes on women of the Bauhaus: ‘Disproportionate, unfortunately, is the way in which the work of the male artists and designers who taught and studied at the Bauhaus have been celebrated over their female counterparts.’

How will we queer design education without compromise?
As educators, the design canon is often the foundation of our practices,
but it is inherently reliant on impenetrable binaries. What would a
queering of design education look like? What would a pedagogical
approach that emphasizes asking questions instead of problem solving
consist of? How can we understand designers as bodies in space, with
agency, instead of simply “creatives”? And how can we understand bodies
of text as living things that produce difficult conversations, instead
of simply “content”? In the age of capitalist innovation and
professionalization, our focus cannot only be about best practices,
creativity, and collaboration. A queering of design education is an
opening, an unclosable gap. We must critique our own critiques. We must
embrace a multiplicity of perspectives. We must reimagine the past in
service of the future. We must cannibalize the canon. We don’t know what
these structures might look like and they too will change, but we must
go into the unknown, together.

Feminism Takes Form
By Kristina Ketola Bore
Design has always held the potential to communicate feminist values. Through the transition from a messenger to a creator of content, designers now have more possibility to shape these values than ever before.

“Kristina Ketola Bore is a design critic, curator, and educator based in Oslo, Norway. She is a co-founder of the platform, The Ventriloquist Summerschool, a subeditor of the art journal Periskop, and lectures internationally at universities and cultural institutions. Her work investigates the social structures within and outside of design, in addition to participation and the role intersectionality and feminisms can play in the design field. These perspectives are also deployed in the act of curation, which has resulted in series of educational art programming for both youth and adults.”

Jihee Lee — intersectional diagram to represent racism and discrimination in daily life against Asians and people of color
Jihee Lee is a Korean graphic designer who studied and works in Germany. She worked on the normalization of stereotypes and racism, in everyday life, but also in visual culture. For instance on the famous website dafont, with categories such as Foreign Look and subcategory Chinese, Jpn which represent a very stereotyped, Western, view of Asian fonts and culture.
Together with So Jin Park, she created I AM ANGRY!, a website and design project which alerts to the racism and discrimination in daily life against Asians and people of color.
