Please join The Unstable Design Lab for a one-day workshop on July 2nd, 2024 as part of DIS2024 (Designing Interactive Systems Conference) at the IT University, in Copenhagen, Denmark.
About the Workshop:
Drawing from feminist practices of collective knowledge making, this workshop aims to hold space for stitching samplers side by side in order to share and imagine desirable future practices.
We ground this workshop in the making of stitch samplers and the sharing of objects that can be seen as manifestations and commitments to the future be they personal, political or philosophical.
We welcome participants from our interdisciplinary design community with an interest in textiles, handwork, politics, ethics and culture, equality and power relations. No prior textile experience is necessary.
Call for Submissions:
We invite submissions in the form of a description and visual documentation of a found or self-made object, alongside a reflection on how this object represents your values and commitments. This might be an object produced through your research, or an object from a collection that fascinates you, brings you hope, and integrates into a story you’d like to share.
Call for submission and more information here.
Please submit an image and a description of an object, and tell us how it speaks to your values and commitments in the form of a 2–4 page PDF.
Submissions should be sent to e.m.vasconcelos.de.gouveia@tue.nl by June 1st at the latest. Keep in mind that you can register before the early bird deadline and modify your registration once you are accepted.
Unstable Design Lab participating members:
kristina andersen, Bruna Goveia da Rocha, Laura Devendorf, Elvia Vasconcelos, Lee Jones, Irene Posch, Anuradha Reddy, Aisling K., Verena Fuchsberger, Lone Koefoed Hansen, and Etta Sandry.
