Critics Review
‘A diverse collection of chapters ranging from the descriptive and matter-of-fact to the personal and anecdotal, thought-provoking interviews to captivating scholarly writings, Radical Intimacies is essential reading for academics, artists and activists interested in the crossover between design, arts and social change.’

– Arturo Escobar, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA‘So particularly, with the onslaught of climate change coming it does surprise me.

– Kyle Magee, anti-advertising activist, MelbourneAbout The Author
