AI - Indigenous Design Thinking

An interactive workshop designed for content creators, animators, video game producers, architects, and designers. This workshop will introduce participants to Indigenous Design Thinking and explore how it can be combined with AI to create alternative African worlds and future imaginaries. Participants will learn how to envision alternative African realities that are rooted in a uniquely South African perspective, moving beyond generic Afrofuturism. Using philosophical concepts like ontology, constructivism, and reframing, the workshop will provide tools to imagine future cities and worlds that are influenced by indigenous ideas and cultural paradigms.
