Spanning five comprehensive sections, it explores the realms of dialogue, power, land, interventions, and radical praxis, offering a comprehensive examination of the multifaceted aspects of this critical subject. Curated by Vodebs, the chapters within this volume engage in radical intimacies with design, establishing a profound connection between it and media, communication, and art. Radical intimacies signify a close relationship with the world that is shaped by our interconnectedness, aiming to decolonize knowledge and revitalize the public sphere. This closeness is inherently political, as it involves qualities that challenge and undermine the extractive relationalities imposed by capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRadical Intimacies serves as a bridge between frameworks on (de)colonization and the pioneering work of Memefest, a global network dedicated to fostering social change through radical design. Comprising a diverse range of original written and visual contributions from across the globe, this collection brings together academics, practitioners, social movements, and adventurous professionals. The book explores design as a central domain of thought and action, concerned with the interpretation and creation of sociocultural life. Contributors are passionate about design that transcends conventional boundaries, challenging narrow disciplines and exploitative paradigms, and envisioning and constructing new worlds and social relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis inter\/ extradisciplinary collection is designed to appeal to a wide audience, including academics, artists, designers, activists, and those seeking to explore the intersections between design, arts, and social change. Students enrolled in design, art, media, and communication programs with an interest in social transformation will find this book particularly valuable.
