we have contributed to the Bloomsbury Design Library with a short – and by no means exhaustive – "Lesson Plan" on Decolonization and Design. Five lessons which aim to serve as an introduction, or even better: a starting point for other lessons.

Palestinians are living under settler colonialism. These are not clashes, not civil war, not a conflict. These terms mask the reality of racist violence on the ground. Language matters: there's an active oppressor and coloniser (Israel) and an oppressed and colonised (Palestine).
We at Decolonising Design condemn the ongoing violence against Palestinians by the state of Israel and ongoing ethnic cleansing of neighborhoods in Occupied East Jerusalem.
We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people in their struggle against settler colonialism.
“A politicized designer is a collective designer, because designing is not an activity accomplished by one person.”
