«Ci concimiamo a vicenda»: building support structures as part of design practice (original) (raw)

This paper delves into the precarious working conditions faced by designers and design researchers within the context of neoliberal economies, particularly within the Western cultural and creative industries. Through an interview with Bianca Elzenbaumer, the authors explore various critical design practices that aim to challenge and restructure the existing design economy by addressing inequalities and oppressive power relations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of collective action, interdependence, and the political dimensions of personal experiences within design practice.
