Alternatives to Development:

Decolonisation Drawings

These drawings were commissioned for a workshop on alternatives to development. The drawings address the challenge of how to engage an audience on potentially triggering material.

“The illustrations introduced humor and a touch of provocation, sparking curiosity while sidestepping divisive buzzwords. This approach helped foster a more open and constructive dialogue with participants”
