The Dutch media landscape has become less diverse in the past ten years, mainly caused by mergers. Making journalism takes time (and thus money), craftsmanship, knowledge and creativity. Independent media platforms, such as OneWorld, that bring new narratives to the landscape, have to carry their own weight.

In Designing Cities for All (DCFA) we dive into the matter of (re)designing inclusive cities. Next to inviting many designers, scientists, experts, educational institutions, and other involved partners to participate- we invited a total of six Fellows to curate part of the programme.

Many of us are looking for content that speaks to a wider, more diverse audience. Image makers like photographers, illustrators and graphic designers produce representations of society and they help create access to information and ideas. As such, they have an additional responsibility to lead the way in deconstructing and updating imaging to make it representative and inclusive. The visual choices we make influence who gets access.
