How can design serve as a tool for emancipation and solidarity while activating local knowledge? This book examines three projects co-initiated by Annelys de Vet that explore political participatory processes and their intricate challenges. Focusing particularly on design work in Palestine, it addresses social and political struggles through a relational lens. It is a plea for sustainable collaborations and rooted connections, through design. The volume offers guidance for others undertaking participatory design projects – defining questions, stepping stones, and “scratching posts” – while advocating for sustainable collaborations and community connections.
