This week’s lecture we recapped about the previous lectures we had through the semester. Andy and Karen also added a bonus content with the topic of decolonising design. The idea of decolonising design is to open up our perspectives and look at questions of gender in design. Female designers are mentioned to not get as much recognition than male designers. However, nowadays female designers are thriving and getting more of the appreciation they deserve.
[Thought] This was the final lecture of the course, and after looking through at what has been discussed in the lectures, I realized how much it expanded my knowledge regarding the whole idea of design. I never really looked into how female designers have been underappreciated compared to male designers, but now I understand the issue more clearly and glad that is changing for the better of female designers.
Anni Albers
Anni Albers (12 June 1899, Berlin - 9 May 1994, Orange) was one of the most significant textile artists of the 20th century. She works with striking geometric patterns and her works are noted for a radical use of color that helped pioneer the Modernist movement. She studied under Martin Brandenburg and also with Paul Klee at the Bauhaus school, where she became a teacher herself. Throughout her life she experimented with materials and inspired a cultural reassessment of fabrics as an art form.
Tolu Coker
Tolu Coker is a young British-Nigerian Fashion Designer, Textile Designer and Illustrator from London. Following several successful stunts at Maison Margiela, J.W. Anderson and Celine, Coker graduated from the prestigious Central Saint Martin's Design school in June 2017 with First Class Honours. Mostly inspired by the politics of identity and social climates, Coker’s designs are influenced by her multi-disciplinary practice and artisan craftsmanship merged with the use of innovative technology.
Nina Katchadourian
Nina Katchadourian is an multidisciplinary artist whose work includes video, performance, sound, sculpture, photography and public projects. Her possibly most famous project is called the “Sorted Books”, in which Katchadourian rearranges the contents of private and public bookshelves so that the books’ spines read as a consecutive statement. Other series have featured such idiosyncratic subjects as subway maps, mascots of common cleaning products, the sound of popping corn, car alarms, birdcalls, and items available on airplane flights.
Reposted from @bob_in_uk - Moshino's creative director @itsjeremyscott steals @tolucoker Pro-black collection "replica" ! He is currently being highly praised for his "original" and "uniquely" designed collection by the fashion-world ! I'm sick of seeing culture vultures like @itsjeremyscott being rewarded for the hard work and creativity of our black brothers and sisters!! #boycottjeremyscott!! ✊🏽 • • • #culturevulture#Problack#blackculture#blackpeopleunite#bob-in_uk #boycott#fashiondesigner#blackpeoplerise#supportblackbusiness #blackcreatives#supportblackart #racism#repost #authenticity #blackfashiondesigner#whiteprivilege #viral#explorepage #Clickbait #blackgrilsrock#blacktalent #whitewash#blacktwitter #whitepeople #blackentrepreneurs - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/Btwc-wPnP6d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=brd5od4tk6mw
