»Design for Change« focuses on how creatives, makers, and designers are driving positive transformation to tackle the pressing issues we face as humanity. The aim is to shed light on the innovative solutions, inspiring stories, and actionable strategies that emerge from the design industry.
The goal is to create a platform where makers and change agents can share their experiences, insights, and motivations. By exploring topics such as sustainable design practices, community-driven initiatives, and the intersection of creativity and social impact, I want to offer inspiration to listeners and equip them with practical knowledge to make a difference.

#01 »Designing between Worlds« with Ritvik Khushu
For today’s conversation I was joined by Ritvik Khushu who talked to me about different understandings of what design is, the role of museums and their link to material culture, as well as the effects of colonialism in design.I’d say Ritvik is a designer and design researcher, but early on in our conversation, we already questioned those very terms and what they mean.Our starting point for the discussion was Ritvik's background and his recent project, "The Criminal Tribes: Re-Membering the severed, dispossessed and disfigured“, a project that delves into the complex world of ethnographic museums and the objects they showcase.Reach out to Ritvik via:https://www.instagram.com/ritvikkhushu/ (https://www.instagram.com/ritvikkhushu/)khushu.ritvik@gmail.com (mailto:khushu.ritvik@gmail.com)
