DECOLONIAL
BY DESIGN
dear culture-maker,
your work is
a social dialogue.
but first,
What do we mean
by 'decolonial'
'ecofeminist'
or 'narrative power'?
Watch this short video
for a little insight into what I'm talking about
(ps. sexism was also a central feature of this era, but is left out of this video which was created in response to a timely conversation on commodity racism several years ago)
we don't live in a man's world. we live in a yang world.
DBD surfaces
the mechanics of
Symbolic power,
to heal the harms of Symbolic Violence.
the marketplace is sacred, as are the arts of branding, marketing and creative expression. they have been used to reorder our economy, which is at its core an ecosystem, one that was supposed to be reciprical. It has becomes extractive. And its narratives that justify that extraction.
This course is about seeding new narratives that work to contribute reciprocity.
tending the roots
the original framework
Dominance culture and the logic of extraction, at a macro level primarily targets Africa and indigeneity more broadly, womanhood, nature and epistemic violence as a form of control.
So these are the lenses you learn this work.
But it doesn't stop there. It helps you to root yourself in the binary framework, with the ability to apply it across domains to everything from how we treat creativity and areas that I perhaps haven't thought have but have arisen for you.
africa

womanhood
& the mother

nature

episteme
& sovereignty

This offers a fractal framework/approach to tackling oppression on micro and marco levels from race, gender and climate violence to how we teach introverts, stillness, intellect and more.
i believe
the world shifts when we become intentional culture-makers
So this is your call-in.

HOSTED IN
Los Angeles, California
City Hall,
LA, California
Our venue is City Hall on Santa Fe Drive, a space that blends indoor stages with open-air areas, built to feel more like a design festival than a corporate conference.
We started as a conference born from a spirit of independent thinking, and that hasn't changed. The talks, the sessions, and the people in the room bring an energy you can only get by being there in person.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you register.
What if I can’t join the summit live?
No problem at all…that’s exactly why we created the VIP Pass. Once you sign up, you’ll have the option to upgrade to VIP, which gives you on-demand access to all of the sessions from the Summit. That includes the deep-dive workshops with 7- and 8-figure founders, expert walkthroughs, Q&As, and behind-the-scenes strategies that attendees rave about. So even if life gets in the way and you can’t make it live, you’ll never miss a single insight when you sign up and upgrade to VIP. You can watch (and rewatch) everything on your own schedule, as many times as you want.
What’s the Summit About?
Our summit brings together founders, leaders, and technologists to explore what's next at the intersection of technology and sustainability — through keynotes, workshops, and honest conversations, not just slide decks.
Who Should Attend?
Founders, product leaders, engineers, designers, and investors working in or curious about sustainable technology. If you're building something meant to last, this is built for you.
What Will I Learn?
Practical frameworks for building sustainably at speed, real case studies from founders who've done it, and direct access to the people shaping AI and climate tech today.
How Much and How to Register?
Pricing and registration details are available on our tickets section, with both in-person and VIP options depending on how you'd like to attend.
When is the Summit?
The summit runs from 1st to 3rd July, 2026, in Los Angeles, California.
