Design With All Beings: Expanded Communities of Social Innovation – A DESIS Network Cluster
The brand new DESIS Network cluster “Design With All Beings: Expanded Communities of Social Innovation” will gather for its second event at Cumulus Nantes. The cluster is a collaborative effort to explore social innovation initiatives worldwide that consider more-than-human agents, while reflecting on the necessity and implications of this expanded perspective. Bringing together diverse sensitivities and points of view from across the network, the cluster seeks to foster dialogue around inclusive communities, more-than-human representation, and multispecies cohabitation. During the 90-minute session, we will present the ongoing mapping of network projects and engage in a collective discussion on the challenges and opportunities of broadening the scope of social innovation to include more-than-human actors.
We invite all the Cumulus members to join our event and participate in the debate!
