A Decolonial Dialogue : Embracing the Pluriverse for Cultural Preservation

This thesis project explores the development of a project about culture preservation conducted between an Italian designer and a Somali collector. For the process to be fair and respectful, a decolonising stance and a pluriversal approach were applied. The literature related to this area of interaction design will be presented with an insight into positionality, as well as design cases that hold an impact on the process and final design. Afterwards, it will be discussed the methodology employed for this case study that consisted of a dialogical and iterative process with a personal approach. The tangible result of this dialogue is manifested through a lectern that mimics the interaction between the two participants of the project. This thesis aims to advocate for the customization of the design process in order to respect the individualities and needs of the participants.
