| Summary | This document elucidates key concepts pertaining to the degrowth movement in conjunction with the exhibition Degrowth & Design. This work outlines ways to integrate degrowth values into design practices, offering foundational information on degrowth. Degrowth critiques adverse effects of capitalism on ecosystems and human lives globally, proposing alternative systems and actions. Personal practices are one such strategy, exemplified by a two-month data collection on degrowth practices conducted by the author. Data was collected and visualized by hand, reflecting the degrowth philosophy. The narrative contextualizes the relationship between graphic design and capitalism, emphasizing the potential in design for effecting positive change. Implementing degrowth through design is highlighted as a powerful strategy, with considerations spanning materials, labor rights, governance, and more. This work underscores the integration of degrowth principles into personal practices and design work, explored in both the accompanying exhibition and document. |
