Systemic Thinking & Interactivity

To think before you act is an intersectional feminist value as it entails one to be mindful and reflect upon their contribution in an eco-systemic view. By practice this activity, we hope to mind designers being sensitive to their decisions and thinking about the consequences of their ideas in multi-layers.

"Smith recommends something she calls “institutional ethnography” as the core of a feminist methodology. Such an ethnography means a commitment to investigating and explaining “actual practices and relations”(Smith 1988:160)."

"Everything begins with everyday life; all concrete experience, and all abstract knowledge.."
