Prototyping Situatedness with Radical Inclusive Attitudes

This poster introduces the Radical Inclusive Attitude (RIA) framework, a design research approach that decentralises the design process, shifting focus from designers to communities. Developed by the RIA collective, the framework builds on decolonising design ethics and participatory processes to address social inequalities and injustice. Inspired by Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, the RIA taxonomy provides a structured methodology to explore power dynamics and inclusive attitudes in design. Through an interactive experience, the public engages with the RIA framework’s key components—praxeology, phenomenology, and ontology—reflecting on their role in fostering radical inclusivity. A QR code on the poster leads to an extended digital space for deeper exploration. This initiative seeks to validate and expand the RIA framework by sparking dialogue within the design community, questioning whether radical inclusive attitudes can serve as a manifesto for ethical and impactful design practices.
