This talk explores the use of photo-illustration and collage as a decolonial tool for "reassembling" identity. How do we protect the stories that institutions often overlook? Through the accessible, high-impact world of zines and printmaking, collage becomes a frontline tool for social change. This talk examines the intersection of design justice and grassroots activism, showing how photo-illustration can be used to "memorialize" community struggles and triumphs. From Riso-printed protests to gallery-scale collages, we will explore how the "low-fidelity" medium of collage offers a "high-fidelity" impact for cultural preservation and systemic advocacy.
