About the Award: Decolonial FuturesĀ is an exchange programme organised between theĀ Sandberg Instituut,Ā theĀ Rietveld AcademieĀ andĀ Framer FramedĀ in Amsterdam andĀ Funda Community CollegeĀ in Soweto, South Africa. The programme was inspired by the desire to work collectively towards a decolonial future in which an equal exchange of knowledges and perspectives from students working across the disciplines of art and design could be established. Each term participants will collaborate in a specific project informed by some of the current efforts undertaken by counter-hegemonic movements and initiatives around the world, departing from the participantsā€™ lived experiences.
