Description

After all the discussions about adopting a more-than-human perspective,
you may be curious about what that experience would feel like. How do you go about including, representing and embodying non-humans? Tonight is your chance to experience what going beyond a human-centred approach could be like. Immerse yourself in this interactive workshop, and become part of a ‘Council of Care’!

Created by PhD researchers Adriana Ressiore and Gabriela De La Rosa, this participatory and art-based method has been in development and experimentation since 2021. In this process, participants engage in a mock decision-making exercise that invites humans and non-humans to participate in the discussion. The Council's primary goal is to explore how to include those typically excluded from mainstream decision-making processes while making the process enjoyable, sparking creativity, and keeping care as a guide. The Council of Care aims to cultivate collaborative, ethical, socially just, and open-minded decision-making by challenging established hierarchies between humans and non-humans.

Be part of this quest and exploration for a more-than-human approach! If you are open to a change of perspective and fancy something special for your Thursday evening, this is your call!
