This project explores plural realities, sustainable development, and community-driven futures through critical dialogue and participatory engagement. The project examines how global sustainability narratives interact with local and often marginalized communities in India. Using speculative design and critical inquiry, it builds on earlier critiques of present systems to imagine alternative futures grounded in lived experience. The project focuses on communities in conservation corridors such as the Pench-Satpura region, where human-animal conflict and environmental degradation are intensified by urbanization and climate change. In collaboration with WWF-India, the project facilitated open-ended conversations with local communities to understand their realities and aspirations. These engagements reveal tensions between universal development models and local needs. The project culminates in the Dandelion Methodology, which challenges singular notions of progress and proposes plural, context-sensitive futures rooted in subaltern perspectives.
