SOME REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD LOVE THEM

Jacquie Shaw (they/them) is a Future Ancestors Services,  Alchemist of Ancestral Services. Their practice sprouts  from critical explorations of design’s role and use in creating the future and combines design anthropology and strategic foresight.  As a queer disabled Filipinx-Bermudian immigrant settler in what is currently Canada, their work orients towards inclusive, equitable, and liberatory futures, built by decolonial, feminist, design justice, and anti-oppressive learnings and practices.

BEYOND THE BIO INTERVIEW
 

WE'RE SO MUCH MORE THAN A TITLE AND CV.
 

What do you do, and what inspires the work that you do? 

​

My work feels most in alignment when the work contributes to the dismantling of oppressive, colonial systems and values, and building liberatory futures. I see work, especially within the current system is inextricably linked to our lives, which are inextricably linked to communities and ecosystems. 

I'm no longer interested in, and am working to divest from spending time, especially work time compartmentalizing parts of my lived experience as a person who goes through the work experiencing complex intersectional oppressions; while also holding a lot of privilege which can be leveraged to expand access and equity to other marginalized folks.

​

It's important to me as a settler and a diasporic person to practice in ways that make space (currently, and into the future/through time/space) for Indigenous self-determination both on the land which I occupy and globally for all Indigenous people. This is a practice in unsettling (as a settler) and decolonizing (as Brown person living in global colonialism/white supremacy), to contribute to a better path.
