In our increasingly interconnected world, design has a powerful role to play in fostering understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures. By embracing locality and engaging in cultural conversation, designers can create meaningful experiences that resonate with users on a deeper level. Locality and cultural conversation in design refers to the practice of grounding design solutions in the specific context of a place and its people. This involves understanding local customs, traditions, values, and aesthetics. It is an ongoing dialogue and exchange that we face daily in our life, be in immersing oneself to different cultures, learning communities’ histories, beliefs, and/or practices. This conversation is a mean to delve into richer understanding of different perspectives, needs, thoughts, and preferences of people, ensuring that the produced knowledge of design can be inclusive, relevant, and sustainable to support local narrative and culture.
