title = "Developing the Relational Dimension of Participatory Design through Creativity-based Methods",
abstract = "Based on insights from a decade-long partnership between designers from the Universit{\'e} de Montr{\'e}al and Indigenous community members of the Atikamekw Nehirowisiw Nation in Canada, this chapter discusses the importance of the relational dimension of community-based participatory design projects. The authors argue that creativity-based methods at the intersection of art, design and craft can nurture ethical collaborative dynamics and challenge the kind of top-down hierarchies that tend to characterise university–community relationships. Although not commonly explicit in design processes, these creativity-based activities can significantly strengthen a project{\textquoteright}s relational dimensions which are crucial to collaboratively developing the project{\textquoteright}s frameworks, taking inventory of collective resources and contributing to decolonising participatory design processes. However, the extent to which relationships are truly {\textquoteleft}decolonised{\textquoteright} by way of being strengthened and integrating Indigenous world views remains to be seen.",
