"Design, Materials and Making for Social Change wonderfully demonstrates why textile design is about world making through and through. It showcases a new breed of material designers engaged in social change at the interface between the material, the ecological and the social. By bridging research and practice through collaborative approaches across continents, the authors demonstrate why a circular approach underscoring the agency and aliveness of materials can yield workable answers to the social and ecological challenges of the industry. From 'material drafts' and literacy in the North to decolonizing materials and vernacular circularity in the South, this volume illustrates paths for transitions from object-oriented designing to design as a relational praxis of repair, care, and regeneration of the web of life." --Arturo Escobar, author of Designs for the Pluriverse: Radical Interdependence and the Making of Worlds (2018) and Pluriversal Politics: The Real and the Possible (2020). "Making in the context of a planetary emergency should not be guilt-ridden, but rather a means to prototype how creative knowledge can reconnect us to the natural world. This book will help to ground design research and textile making in a rigorous yet hopeful journey towards a circular future."--Carole Collet, Professor in Design for Sustainable Futures, Central Saint Martins UAL
