Universal design

An icon that shows a piece of paper with writing. There is a caret on the side of the paper to make it resemble a speech bubble.

Narrative change

There are 3 icons - A truck, a factory and one with 3 human figures. A dotted line forms a circle that connects each of these icons together.

Supply chain transformation

“As a diasporic person of color, it’s so hard for me to access information that aligns with my heritage. Growing up, the default knowledge society is white, Eurocentric, Anglocentric, and androcentric. Before Slow Factory, I had no idea about cultural perpetuity, community actualisation, or even what decolonization really was. You all have enabled me to access knowledge that truly aligns with who I am and where I’m from. Thank you so much for that.”

“I wanted to thank you for the work you do to educate all of us. I am grateful to have attended your recent online art showcase I Really Love This Song. It made me feel so inspired to see other artists like myself creating and sharing revolutionary art. Your workshops, resources, and posts are much appreciated and very helpful.”

“I thank the Slow Factory for creating a critical platform with the resources to navigate the daunting waters of unlearning and allowing me to be challenged and hold myself accountable when I have to, while simultaneously creating a space where hope and cooperation are encouraged... And it has been a catalyst to get engaged in the conversations that pave the route towards a just and equitable future where everyone can be. Thank you, Slow Factory!”
