Form, Function, Content, Payroll: Micro and Macro Politics of Design

Essay written in collaboration with Maya Ober, published in the 1st issue of the journal House of Common Affairs, 15 Apr 2019.

The House of Common Affairs (HOCA) is a new journal conceived and edited by Paula Minelgaite. It provides an opportunity to challenge the niche and yet popular field that exists in the overlap between the arts and journalism. HOCA invites a more diverse range of voices into the conversation with the aim to promote an international and interdisciplinary exchange of ideas, as well as knowledge. It seeks to offer a space for critical thinking with the aim of provoking further developments in this field.

The “Fourth Estate Utopias” is the first issue of HOCA, and as such addresses the project’s subtitle, ‘fancy discussions about Fourth Estate utopias,’ and is about the role of visual communication in relation to journalism.

As depatriarchise design, Maya Ober and I contributed an essay titled “Form, function, content, payroll: micro and macro politics of design”. Get your copy here and read our piece.
