Vol. 2 No. 3 (2026): Culture, Design & Society

This issue of the Journal of Creative Perspectives explores the dynamic relationships between culture, design, technology, and society through interdisciplinary research and creative practice. Bringing together perspectives from visual culture, heritage studies, communication, user experience, and social innovation, the contributions examine how cultural traditions, creative expressions, and emerging technologies shape the ways people understand, experience, and interact with the world around them.

The issue addresses a diverse range of topics, including cultural diplomacy and visual representation, the preservation and reinterpretation of heritage, the relationship between traditional practices and digital experiences, and the influence of design on human behaviour and public engagement. It also considers the role of art and visual communication in shaping social identity, the potential of immersive technologies to transform historical perception, and the importance of inclusive, community-centred approaches to contemporary challenges.

By connecting historical perspectives with current social and technological developments, this issue highlights the value of interdisciplinary thinking in understanding complex cultural and societal questions. It brings attention to the ways design and creative practice can bridge communities, communicate knowledge, encourage participation, and generate new forms of engagement with cultural and social environments.
