Yale – Pursuit of Luxury Workshop

May 31, 2018

1to1 alongside Orli Setton, Olwethu Jack, Simnikiwe Xanga and Melilizwe Gqobo provided a 2
day facilitated workshop experience for a visiting group from Yale’s School of Management under Jessica Helfland’s Design as Utility: Luxury, Waste and Sustainability Practicum.

The workshop sought to make a critical space for local citizen experts to coproduce a set of values and ways of working with visiting international groups that would not be exploitative to the locals or reductive in it’s inquiry.

The workshop initiated processs towards a set of thinking tools on top of the facilitated learning that took place.
