One year ago, we were at LINK Conference 2024 — and we’re more proud of that moment than ever.

Bringing together leading scholars from Aotearoa New Zealand to Chile, and Brazil created a truly powerful space for Southern-led dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. 🌏✨

New Issue Out Now! 🌎 📚 We’re thrilled to share the launch of Issue #3 of LINK PRAXIS: Journal of Practice-led Research and the Global South!

“Between Two Worlds: A Southern Perspective on Design Practice” brings together powerful voices from across South America and beyond—many emerging from the LINK 2024 conference—to explore how design is lived, questioned, and reimagined from the Global South.

This issue centers situated knowledges, decolonial methodologies, and the complex realities of practicing design between worlds—across borders, epistemologies, and ways of being. Through practice-led research, contributors reflect on positionality, relationality, and the transformative potential of design when rooted in southern perspectives.

Whether you’re a designer, researcher, educator, or simply curious about more pluralistic futures for design—this issue invites you to listen, learn, and rethink.
