Design(s) for Wool All(iances)

Presented by
Seçil Uğur Yavuz, Merve Bektaş, Camilo Ayala-Garcia 

We live in times of troubled abundance resutling from extractivist and anthropocentric ways of being, producing and living. One example of such phenomenon is the local wool. Today, local wool is left abandon with the introduction of synthetic fibers. In South Tyrol, every year approx. 50 tonnes of wool are being wasted. Through Design(s) for Wool All(iances), we want to work on design scenarios that can be imagined with raw wool to be used for other “skins” that are not only human (e.g. plants, trees, rocks, soil, water) as a “matter of care”. We invite participants to co-create, materialize and speculate wool application ideas.
