Abstract

Given the difficulties and inherent problems of data, how do we approach data representations in a decolonial way? This annotated portfolio by Kontinentalist illustrates our evolving practice and attempt at forging a path grounded in a community manifesto that looks to challenge the need for accuracy and certainty, centring design in Indigenous vernacular and knowledge, and challenging reductivism.
