Over the past few years, Jason De Santolo and Nadeena Dixon have critically posed “Colonisation by Design” as a series of formative lectures in the School of Design at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). The conditions surrounding the 2020 lecture series created a space for deeper ‘yarns’ on
shifting notions of sovereignty and self-determination for our people. Our reactions vibrated with concern and care for our lands, waters, Elders, kids and communities. If decolonising design education was to have a genuine long-term effect, then the pathways towards “design sovereignty” would have to Indigenise specific local pedagogies by challenging everyday injustices and the impacts of dispossession and state violence. This chapter is a revisionist attempt towards articulating the contextualisation, intent and energy of our shared teaching experiences as a key factor in framing the emergence of an Indigenous-centred research hub that works towards design sovereignty on unceded lands.
