In comparison, design futuring becomes a pathway for envisioning what could be, a departure from present-day circumstances with a license to imagine infinite possibilities. Value sensitive design and assets-based design position various communities of users at the center of the design process, appreciating their intrinsic values and knowledge as desirable qualities for informing the design of technology. Each of these different design paradigms shift power away from the trained designer as the sole decision maker in the design process and position communities of users, who actually represent key stakeholders, as being integral to the design process. Much of this parallels queer Black feminist work and foundation which values “interdependency within the Black community” and suggests that “changing oppressive societal norms and imagining other existences begins with Black feminist assessments, interventions, and solutions” [45]. Why then have we not been more explicit in considering the values and contributions of Black communities who have histories of futures thinking and reimagining alternatives?
