Report
Suchitra Balasubrahmanyan  is a design researcher from India. She teaches in the School of Design at Ambedkar University, Delhi. We talk about how nationalist ideas are reproduced at the borders between countries. We talk about the border between India and Pakistan. It is to note that we have recorded this interview many weeks before the recent attack on Pakistan. Suchitra tells us about indigenous making practices in India, her link to activism and how she has tried to incorporate to design education more about Indian reality. Suchitra recommends us: On Dalit designOn designers from indigenous communities in India⁠Sarita Sundar's work on a history of chairs in India.Her article on moving away from Bauhaus and Ulm Her article on Development and DesignThis episode is part of the lists: India y diseño, Decolonizar el diseño, Seguridad y diseño, D&D in English y Territorio y diseño. The titles of the lists are in Spanish, but each list contains episodes in English. The "D&D in English" list includes all the episodes published in English. So far, we have 35 episodes available. Over time, we’ve been building a solid collection, and if this is your first time listening to us, now you know there’s plenty more to explore!This is the 2nd episode of the series Decolonizing Design Through Dialogue. This series is possible thanks to the Design History Society, which awarded me the Decolonising Design History Grant. They also advised me on whom to interview outside of Latin America, so that this series would have a more international perspective. This series features interviewees and projects from India, Argentina, Spain, Ghana, the USA, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Australia, Ecuador, and Paraguay. It is a trilingual series, with episodes in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. I interview designers, artists, and researchers.
