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\u2014historically, geographically\u2014to 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
