Who can afford to be critical, Alfonso Matos (Ed.), 2022

Who can afford to be critical, An inquiry into what we can’t do alone, as designers, and into what we might be able to do together, Alfonso Matos (Ed.), 2022. This book is new.

“In a dynamic style holding multiple voices, Who can afford to be critical,discusses the limits that affordability, class and labour impose upon the educational promise of holding a ‘critical’ practice. Why do we tend to ignore the material and socioeconomic constraints that bind us as designers, claiming instead that we can be powerful agents of change? In fact, where does our agency lie?”
