ORIENTierungsplan Episode #3: On Self-Orientalism and Decolonising Design – in conversation with Imad Gebrayel

Listen to the Podcast again on Cashmere Radio

Imad Gebrayel will be discussing self-Orientalism in Arab* Design, design education between Lebanon, The Netherlands and Germany and the need to decolonize representation across all knowledge-production disciplines. Imad will also elaborate on means of reclaiming intersectional identifications in migrant contexts, his work with different communities in Berlin and his field research on Sonnenallee as a space for negotiating Arab-Muslim identifications, part of his PhD at the Institute for European Ethnology at Humboldt University Berlin.
