ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the case studies that speak to Design Provocations that make visible and make believe. It explores two community-led research projects: the first together Finnish, Mexican and an Indigenous Mayan community in Mexico, the other a peer community of teachers in Australia. The first case study makes the importance of equal and reciprocal relationships visible by positioning a co-design approach as a mode for navigating a longitudinal engagement with community. The practice vignettes illustrate how the role of discursive and speculative design is not wedded only to the simulation of utopian or dystopian futures. The Design Rounds activity explores material, and embodied strategies for critically and creatively rehearsing and improvising the future.
