A Decade in the Weave: The Long Thread of Eco-Social Transformation
Presented by
Bianca Elzenbaumer
Over the past decade, eco-social design has navigated a world upended by climate chaos, war, digital decay, far-right rage, and AI doom. Yet, as a community, its practice has blossomed through decolonial, posthumanist, transfeminist, Indigenous, and abolitionist sophistication. So what is its role today? How do we frame our practices—historically, geographically—to sustain transformative power and keep weaving the long tapestry of eco-social justice? Bianca explores these tensions, thinking from a design practice that is rooted in the Italian Alps, yet globally networked.
