So today I’m joined by the phenomenal Alison Page who’s work and writing really engages with the idea of what it means to be human in the twenty-first century and how we can reconcile the past and the present. So often things are designed for us but here we explore the magic that happens when we design with people, not just for them. We’re so excited to have you all here today with us. I’d like to begin by acknowledging the Cammeraygal people, the traditional owners of the land on which we record this podcast today and pay my respects to their elders’ past, present and of course emerging. Welcome to With, Not For, a podcast from the Centre for Inclusive Design. How often do we think, “If only the designers had thought of this or that.” There’s often some really easy fix that we all know would make something much, much better than it is already. Manisha: So you’re waiting in line complaining on social media or talking to friends about something that just doesn’t work for you. In this episode, we speak with Alison Page, a Walbanga and Wadi Wadi woman, film-maker, storyteller and architect, about how to include traditional cultures into future designs.
