Abstract Design practice, at its contemporary state, contributes to replicating a homogenizing ontology that subjugates aesthetic, functional, and cultural values of non-Western design. In so doing, it becomes an instrument of colonialism and reaffirmation of a Western-centric view of the world. Decolonial Design arises as a reaction to this, proposing the integration of decolonial thought into design theory and philosophy. This study proposes a collaborative approach to design that brings the philosophy of Decolonial Design into practice, positioning design as a vehicle for rethinking problems through creative processes and initiatives, and as a transformative tool through which design can decolonize itself (and designers) while in action. This approach is demonstrated through a case study in the Yavusa Navakavu, Rewa Province, Viti Levu, Fiji, where researchers, designers, and the local community co-designed initiatives to promote the environmental conservation of their protected marine area.

实践中的非殖民化设计：为斐济纳瓦卡武设计有意义和变革性的科学传播

摘要 在当代状态下，设计实践有助于复制一种同质化的本体论，这种本体论压制了非西方设计的美学、功能和文化价值。这样做，它成为殖民主义和重申以西方为中心的世界观的工具。非殖民化设计作为对此的反应而出现，提议将非殖民化思想融入设计理论和哲学中。本研究提出了一种协作式设计方法，将非殖民化设计理念付诸实践，将设计定位为通过创造性过程和举措重新思考问题的工具，并作为一种变革性工具，通过它设计可以在行动中使自身（和设计师）非殖民化. 这种方法通过在斐济维提岛雷瓦省 Yavusa Navakavu 的案例研究得到证明，
