Residents of Fabrica Research Centre discuss Afonso de Matos' book Who Can Afford to Be Critical? The book's campaign explores how issues of affordability, class, and labor are often overlooked in design discourse. By questioning "Critical Design," it challenges designers to reflect on their positioning within complex social theories and the balance of awareness in their work. The metaphorical placement of a comma symbolizes the ongoing dialogue about where designers stand in relation to critical and political issues.
