Age, Poverty, and Technology: A Case Study on the Digital Divide

In the heart of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires in Argentina, Villa 21-24 reflects the social inequality plaguing Latin America. It is a neighborhood with unpaved streets, no sewer system, and no individual power lines—and therefore, no home internet connection.

SURGLOBAL on The UX Rebels (Ep. 03, Season 6)

In this episode of The UX Rebels, we speak with Cristian Situ and Elsie Ralston, co-founders of Sur Global, a nonprofit organization that promotes more conscious and responsible innovation in Latin America. We discuss the origins of Sur Global, its purpose, and the educational model they’re using to train new generations of designers with a critical and locally grounded approach. We also reflect on the future of design in the region, the importance of rethinking the methods we were taught—methods that have historically been central to the world of innovation and technology—and the importance of adapting them to the contexts in which we are designing. We discussed the conference they’re organizing for October—a space where they aim to build community, learn collectively, and design from the Global South. A powerful, necessary, and urgent episode for those of us who believe that design has a social role to play in the world. And remember: we are rebels.
