ABSTRACT
This paper addresses the invitation to embrace new territories by proposing a set of conceptual and methodological strategies to expand the PD toolkit when working within 'popular cultures'. On the basis of PD research interventions in rural and urban popular contexts in Colombia, we reflect on experiences of designing in these territories, so far not very explored by the PD community. Set within a deeply unequal and hybrid society, PD efforts find in Colombian popular culture an opportunity for encounter and connection turning the design project into an ad hoc community able to trigger change.
