Listen to the 2025 Design Writing Prize guest judge Professor Elizabeth Guffey in conversation with Rosa te Velde about her winning essay ‘‘A Firm Nudge’: Politics of ‘Ethical’ Reform through ‘Native Arts and Crafts’ in Dutch-Occupied Indonesia’.
Rosa’s work was written as part of a research project on design and the ethnographic museum commissioned by the Research Center for Material Culture in Leiden, the Netherlands. The article was republished through the Recall/Recalibrate platform, where you can also find other articles on arts and crafts and education in the context of ‘ethical imperialism'.
Submissions are now open for the 2026 Design Writing Prize which will be guest judged by Professor Jane Pavitt. Find out more here.
