Sanna Marttila ⁠is a designer and researcher working now in ⁠IT University of Copenhagen⁠, in Denmark. We talk in this interview about cultural infrastructures, on her work in ⁠OpenGLAM⁠ and⁠ Open Knowledge⁠ and overall how digital infrastructures can support participation in different contexts: cultural heritage and also decision making in the cities. 

This interview is part of the lists: D&D in English, Democracia y diseño, Finlandia y diseño, Dinamarca y diseño, Design in the public sector, Ciudad y diseño, Infrastructures and Gobierno y diseño. The lists can be found in Spotify, in our website and in Youtube.

This is the third  episode of a series on Infrastructures. This is a series of 5 interviews to people based or coming from: Ireland, Finland,  Denmark, and the United States. My main focus is in understanding the possible role of design in infrastructures. I started this enquiry interviewing designers involved in the development of services for other projects or based in other infrastructures. I wanted to ask them: what can we design in relation to the work of  infrastructures?

This series is part of the work I do for an EU project: ⁠IRISCC.⁠ Integrated Research Infrastructure Services for Climate Change Risks. In this project we will develop services using a co-design framework.
