Through Witnessing: Threading the critiquing, making, teaching of design

This book names and wrestles with design and institutional design education’s pseudo-neutral relationship with colonial capitalist world orders and what it means to teach and design today. It slowly weaves together ideas on designing as a mechanism of maintenance and teaching against bureaucratic inertia.
How does design give form to social fictions? How does design and the professionalization of design schooling maintain the priorities of nations and capital?
Engaging in pedagogical expressions of rage, generosity, forgiveness, slowness, and chaos; contributions of lecture, essay and interview reflect on the weight of being, the possibilities and sometimes impossibilities towards un-doing and un-maintaining the enduring legacies of colonial powers.

Set Margins' is an independent international publisher and platform based in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Founded in 2022 by Freek Lomme, the press champions marginalized cultural agendas, critiques corporate culture, and focuses on the politics embedded within visual culture, design, and art.

Operating outside the traditional corporate-dominated publishing industry, Set Margins' functions as a fluid support structure rather than a strict movement or group. Their catalogue highlights alternative voices, critical discourse, and experimental graphic design.
