The notion of ‘culture’ has long been recognized as an inherent component of both
art and design education. What remains uncharted territory are ways by which
educators can assess a student’s understanding of the complexity behind the production
of ‘culture’. Contextualizing current pedagogical approaches within anthropological
and interdisciplinary theoretical paradigms sheds light on the limitations
of present undertakings. Static and stereotypical interpretations of ‘culture’ fail to
account for the complex, multi-dimensional, hybrid, dynamic, intertwining, and
ever-changing facets of ‘culture’ that characterize border crossings and modernization
processes. This paper posits that concepts, an artistic synthesis of knowledge,
can be the medium through which students can unravel the myth of ‘culture’ and
expose its dynamic and changing nature, the tensions and contradictions involved,
as well as the multiple ways of belonging. Marking the beginning of the design process,
concepts that speak of ‘culture’ can propel a new era in infusing designs with
social justice.
