<br>========================================
<br>
<br>The Participatory Design Conference (PDC) has a long history in bringing
<br>together research concerned with the direct involvement of people in
<br>co-design, development, implementation, and appropriation activities around
<br>technologies, spaces, artefacts, and services. The conference invites
<br>researchers and practitioners working on participatory design, as it is
<br>encountered and discussed in multiple fields.
<br>
<br>In 2020, the 18th Biennial Participatory Design Conference (PDC) will be
<br>held in Manizales, Colombia, for the first time in South America. The
<br>conference will be held in conjunction with the Festival de la Imagen 2020 (
<br>www.festivaldelaimagen.com), one of the largest and most recognized design
<br>events in Colombia, which will bring a variety of unique possibilities and
<br>encounters for PDC and its community.
<br>
<br>*PDC 2020’s theme is “Participation(s) otherwise”*
<br>
<br>Since Participatory Design’s (PD) emergence as a research community, PD
<br>scholars have asserted that design is a practical, social and political
<br>endeavour. Main commitments include: offering alternative technologies,
<br>rendering design processes democratic, open and accessible to wide
<br>participation, and amenable to critical scrutiny and mutual learning. By
<br>proposing the theme of Participation(s) otherwise, we want to invite the PD
<br>community to think further on the diverse meanings and ontologies that
<br>participation and design can take on. Let’s open up the understanding of
<br>“participation” beyond modernist narratives and theoretically
<br>“universal”
<br>cookie cutter solutions and account for diverse practices.
<br>
<br>What forms, conceptions and understandings of participation, collaboration,
<br>intervention, design and technology can we draw upon to contest
<br>essentialist views on participatory design? Are current conceptions
<br>coherent with plural understandings and realities? What haven’t we realized
<br>before? From whom else are we / can we be learning?
<br>
<br>We welcome a variety of different contributions, such as theoretical
<br>elaborations, case study analysis, long term explorations and/or
<br>methodological reflections. Submissions may address one or more of the
<br>following anchor points. These should not be considered as mandatory, but
<br>rather indicative of things we believe require urgent action:
<br>
<br>Local/global - place/territory: Explorations of place, space, materiality,
<br>and temporality within participatory design and for technologies otherwise.
<br>
<br>Economies: Inquiries into the role and scope of participatory design in the
<br>critique, reinterpretation and construction of green, circular, open,
<br>commons and solidarity processes. This includes also provocative
<br>reflections on participatory design processes themselves, understood as a
<br>process of exchange.
<br>
<br>Representation, resistance and governance otherwise: The potential of
<br>participatory design practices to support (or undermine) forms of civic
<br>participation, power redistribution and conflict negotiation, to challenge
<br>authoritarianism, or explore horizontal ways of organising
<br> - including making alternative (or resistive) technologies, spaces,
<br>systems, processes or infrastructures.
<br>
<br>Design Research: Explorations of new forms of making otherwise and
<br>methodological innovations for design as participatory political praxis
<br>(including decolonial, feminist, and collective research and action
<br>approaches). Reflections on how those can transform scientific writing to
<br>be more representative of collaborative knowledge construction processes.
<br>
<br>Participation and interculturality: spaces and features of (and for)
<br>dialogue and design that avoid universalism and include critical
<br>perspectives towards collaboration, co-creation, and the role of technology
<br>in these processes.
