Tuesday, 8th July 2025, 10-11:00 AM, unibz Bolzano Campus, room C4.06
An introduction to the practice based research intervention on aging through collective sense-making run by OBOT (Our Bodies Our Tech) collective, a distributed network and a nomadic wet-lab working on ways to lower the barriers to research, production and scientific knowledge through new forms to access tools, protocols and data by promoting co-research practices.
The talk is part of the series of talks of the project INTRA – Designing Embodied Human-Data IntraActions.
After the talk Zoe Romano will hold the workshop Emotion Networking, Shifting perspectives on Menopause. 11:00-13:00, room C4.06
This workshop cultivates a structured dialogue around the post-fertile body, enabling participants to conceptualize their bodily affective frequencies on the emergence of human biological purpose’s shift. Through this radical pedagogical intervention, we aim to rewire our observational capacities and activate consciousness on aging’s fluid, contradictory dynamics.
