Design has always been political. The question is who gets to say so, and at what cost. In this episode of Design is Everywhere, Guest Editor of Unfold 002: The Dissent Issue Rania Adwan sits down with Sabiha Basrai—designer, organizer, and co-owner of Design Action Collective—to talk about twenty years at the intersection of graphic design and social justice: what the industry did and didn’t do when the world got harder, who has always had to resist and who is only now arriving at it, and what it actually costs to build something outside the system.
