Justice Adda and Kokum  Design Trust in partnership with Konrad Adenauer Stiftung hosted the Design for Justice Fellowship in 2022-2023.

 

As part of the fellowship students from BITS, Pilani, Goa College of Architecture and Salagaocar College of Law explored specific justice institutions in Goa. Through the case study they sought to identify the gaps in access to justice in these spaces and what possible solutions could be applied. 

 

In January 2023, the fellowship culminated in the Design for Justice Conference held in Goa from January 6th-8th at the International Centre, Goa which brought together leading academics, designers, lawyers and activists.

 

The case study was presented by the fellows at the conference alongside exploratory papers by practitioners, researchers, activists and academics from varied fields. These papers also addressed the question of access to justice within Goa. They looked at the different ways justice spaces, justice makers and justice users could be reimagined to make a more equitable space.

 

The takeaways from the case study are shared here in an infographic format. The proceedings of the conference have been put together in the report shared here. A compendium of all the essays presented and the case study are to be published and will be made available soon.
