How do you use textiles and design as tools to communicate compelling messages? How do you state a critical point of view on conflict using your design skills, a critical point of view about social justice or culture, using symbolic materials and textile techniques? How do you play with colour, pattern and notions of taste to generate empathy, emotions and attract an audience towards a specific important issue? How can you respectfully use traditional, indigenous textile methods and ways of thinking to investigate a specific subject about one's reality? How is this useful? Is generating tension between design, art and violence something to avoid? How can we explore this relationship to enrich a design project and have an impact upon humanity?
