Anti-Amnesia’s research methodology has been underpinned by ethnographic methods from the social sciences that have proven to be highly effective when applied in an articulated manner with more intuitive approaches of design. The research team has accordingly worked closely with members of the associated practice communities in order to uncover uniqueness in terms of perspectives and elements of materiality and culture that can potentially help extend the associated value propositions. The mediation process has thus included: building human and social narratives through gathering personal testimonies, stories, and anecdotes; documenting related folkloric customs and traditions; documenting materials, processes, and tools; documenting produced articles, designs, patterns and other visual materials; collecting specimens of products, swatches, and samples; collecting specimens of contextual externalities, including residual material; collating previously published media and academic articles on the specific contexts, and the associated craft practices in general. Upon documentation and archiving, the obtained information has formed an evidential base that has been further analyzed in order to determine different forms of embedded ‘value’ in the respective practice cultures, and has correspondingly been utilized as a generative resource for creative research actions, including design-led reinterpretations.
