Indigenous communities have been living in connection with the land for centuries. At a time when our environment is in crisis, uplifting indigenous knowledge and methodology through collaborative partnerships is vital to co-creating a sustainable future.

This episode's guest, Dr  Desiree Hernandez Ibinarriaga is an Indigenous Mexican woman, creative practitioner, collaborative and social design maker and lecturer whose purpose is to acknowledge and recognise the relationality between people and place while privileging Indigenous knowledges. Throughout all of her work Desiree’s focus is on building better ways of partnership, collaboration and communication between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people through design.

In this conversation, we spoke in-depth about the importance of and how to begin decolonising yourself, how to respectfully and effectively uplift indigenous knowledge and the connection between people and planet and why strengthening it is vital to tackling climate change. We also spoke about Desiree’s connection to Mexico as an Indigenous woman and she shared some personal stories about her family and heritage. 

If you want to learn more about decolonising yourself and uplifting indigenous knowledge then this episode is for you.
