Not Enough Collective

We are collective, consists of Andrea Chehade Barroux, Mari Cortez and Marina Sasseron de Oliveira Cabral, three South American women exploring the tensions of the systemic asymmetry persisting in our society. Design, fashion and art practices have for long contributed to perpetuate colonialism by spreading particular ways of thinking, doing and learning. To disrupt these asymmetries and cease the reproduction of colonial power, we encourage people to rethink, revalue and reimagine design and education at its roots. Through an experimental way of learning, we challenge institutionalised education by making workshops to collective research and reflect on what a non-colonial perspective would be. Using the body as the main learning tool, our purpose is to provoke activations that value other and plural ways of thinking, sensing and doing. Designers, artists, makers, educators, enthusiasts and people that relate to other practices are encouraged to engage and witness unfamiliar realities. We are open to collaborate with people and organisations that seek to dissolve polarisation by exploring the grey areas of design, fashion and art.
