What does decolonising
mean to us?
mean to us?
Collaborating
DA has constantly relied on the voices of individuals and institutions from around the world. By working with people with different experiences and backgrounds, we are able to create a richer palette of opinions to draw from and inform our approach.
Un-learning
In order to achieve equitable solutions, we recognise that un-learning will play as much a part as learning. By looking at the past through a critical lens, we are able to identify where certain methods create biases in the opportunities that they create. Being comfortable with un-learning such methods forms the basis of our work.
Listening
DA’s approach relies on the fact that different experiences will result in different opinions. We believe in a form of discourse that prioritises listening and understanding the root of issues before taking action and that in many cases, compromise is necessary for progress.
