dc.description.abstractKartogrifa In-Flux - Thinking, Talking, Building Alternative Pasts-Futures (KIF), the authors project (Schultz, 2012), is a mediation object created on the East Coast of Australia in 2012, KIF revealed valuable insights in relation to aiding students in navigating the complexities of challenging 'Eurocentrism'. Samir Amin (2011) provides a thorough theoretical critique of Eurocentrism from which the context of the word is aligned here. Eurocentrism is an unsustainable dominant modern Western narrative of European reach and power being imposed on other parts of the world. The case is made that socio-culturally situated pedagogical tools can effectively challenge Eurocentrism in post-compulsory education for sustainable design. KIF has been used as a pedagogical tool to its full capacity with undergraduate university students of visual communication design, product design, exhibition design and design theory. It is also designed to be effective in mediating discussion among students of humanities such as cultural studies, history, anthropology, sociology and psychology, notwithstanding evidence of effective engagement with K-12 compulsory students. In both cases of exhibiting the KIF event discussed in this chapter, there were a mix of post-compulsory students and disciplines, K-12 students and members of the public. In order to refine the scope here, a reflection of KIF as a pedagogical tool for post-compulsory students engagement is outlined. KIF is a pedagogical tool with a purpose of unravelling the concealment of other forms of knowledge, in this case, Australian Indigenous Knowledge (IK). It is also an exemplar of creative and lateral design-thinking. The design-thinking however has a 'decolonising' agency. As such, KIF is 'decolonial/design-thinking' directed via careful and deliberate use of elements such as colour, form, and textual signs. The motivation for KIF is to mediate complex ideas among participants that go towards securing more sustainable modes of existence (whatever that may be in any given locality).
