- Design in general, including participatory design, has been and is still closely entangled with an idea of progress molded by modernism, technological development, rationality and economic growth. Today, when trying to shift towards other motivations and meanings in designing, we as designers find ourselves being haunted by this legacy. In this workshop we invite participants to make present and carefully untie designs’ entanglements with progress and to craft concrete imaginaries of a more socio-ecological just design after progress. Through this workshop we hope to start building a community around present-ing design histories and making a repertoire of narratives of how to be better haunted in participatory design.The workshop will take the form of a séance that is based on stories and images from the participants’ ongoing work that speaks to where they have sensed a haunting by the ghosts of progress embedded in design. This could for example be in a design method that you are using, a learning objective in your design curricula, an evaluation criterion, a design outcome that you have been involved with as a professional design practitioner, design educator or design researcher.It is imperative that the participants are in agreement with the workshop organisers that the séance is in itself an experimental attempt to explore a non-linear way of searching for the barely present or not easily discernible ideals or mechanisms of progress in participatory design. It is not to be confused with calling for supernatural spirits or deceased kins.

Seasonal Clothing: : Unlearning control and materiality by staging interventions in a Tiny House on Wheels as environmental learning pedagogies

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- What if a window blind is no longer available immediately but has to begrown at home? Imagine, the kitchen floor is covered in a mix of seedsand soil and is sprinkled with water when needed. Every step through thekitchen is taken with utmost care until the grass is dense enough. Thenthe grass is cut for breakfast juice and the grassy carpet pulled out of thehouse for a thorough wash. A diverse set of householders engage in makingsense and making a mark by adding their craft through embroidering andcrocheting. Finally, the new window blind is installed. For how long do youthink it will last? The Holding Surplus House (HSH) research project has created a TinyHouse on Wheels as a mobile site for interventions that lets us explorealternative realities and environmental learning pedagogies with ourphysical bodies in a household. For the conference Learnings/Unlearningswe offer the HSH as an exhibit and a panel to reflect on the artistic interventionsthemed “Seasonal Clothing”. The series of interventions provokehouseholders, designers, and a more general public to unlearn control,predictability, and immediate availability when it comes to interior design,materiality and interactions in diverse households. The interventions help us generate a bodily connection to, experience ofand engagement with alternative practices when it comes to householdingwith resources. We draw on an embodied approach to enable participantsin our interventions to become able to un/learn and make sense of theirbodies as a source to reimagine the space of home. For this conferencewe focus on the values of interdependence and dynamic relations innon-formal encounters through sharing situated learnings from the“Seasonal clothing” experiments in exhibition contexts and beyond, as wellas inviting for new embodied learnings.

Un/Making Pollination : Feminist Methods for Creating Ecosocial Imaginaries
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Australian feminist studies (Print). - : Taylor & Francis. - 0816-4649 .- 1465-3303. ; , s. 1-33

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- How to imagine other kinds of world-making when there is a loss of species; livelihoods are threatened, and lives are on the line? Stoddard et al. (2021) note that there is a lack of social imaginaries. Critical, creative practices act in a tradition of responding to complex questions by turning them into embodied inquiries and opportunities to imagine how things could be otherwise (Mareis and Paim 2021; DiSalvo 2022). The project Un/ Making Pollination is a designerly response to the twofolded lack of pollinators and imagination. It is an exploration on how to approach more liveable feminist futures by relationship building across species, with a focus on plant-pollinator-human relationships. The authors give a critical account of choices in the creation of a series of posters and hand pollination tools as feminist methods of opening ecosocial imaginaries. These feminist ways of knowing and worlding are also methods of inquiring, making, giving form, using senses, connecting temporalities, spaces and bodies, getting attracted, lured in and touched by the making and unmaking of biodiversity. We articulate and perform references of feminist methods for combining knowledge production with everyday life that can contribute to imagining otherworlds.

Un/Making the Plastic Straw : Designerly Inquiries into Disposability
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Design and Culture. - : Taylor & Francis Group. - 1754-7075 .- 1754-7083. ; 15:3, s. 393-415
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article proposes un/making as a designerly response to urgent environmental issues. By focusing on the simultaneous constructive and destructive aspects of design, this effort attempts to challenge design's dominant focus on making new things. The implications and potentialities of un/making are explored through a designerly inquiry into ongoing and emerging attempts to ban the plastic straw. Based on this inquiry, the article proposes an approach to un/making that is driven by speculative, what if questions, informed by the history of the plastic straw: from coming into being to becoming preferable and now emerging as a matter of concern. Through a series of speculative design artifacts, the authors articulate matters at stake in the un/making of the plastic straw. They also show how these matters are a stake in the un/making of disposability as part of a preferable future. Rather than proposing one preferable future, the article highlights the frictions that emerge in un/making.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter starts off in an excursion where design students were working on moving stones in a field. Some of the stones were small. One of them was big. It took a lot of effort and cooperation to shift the big one and move it off of the field. Where do international design programmes in Småland, based in Växjö and Kalmar, go on excursions to seek a better understanding of design and their own role as designers? We know about big furniture manufacturers, and we know about the proud traditions in glass. However, since the focal point for these classes was resilience1, the answer to the question became a combination of places in which dreams of alternative social orders have been expressed in writing, through agriculture, and in relationships that keep life going.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det här kapitlet börjar i att bända upp stenar med designstudenter på exkursion. Några stenar var små. En var stor. Det behövdes mycket kraft och samarbete för att bända upp den stora ur fältet. Vart åker internationella designutbildningsprogram i Småland, baserade i Växjö och Kalmar, på exkursion för att förstå design och sin egen designerroll bättre? Vi känner till exempel till stora möbeltillverkare och vi känner till den stolta glastraditionen. Men eftersom fokus var på resiliens i de här lärandemomenten blev svaret en kombination av platser där drömmar om alternativa samhällen har tagit sig uttryck i skrift, odling och i relationer som får livet att fortgå.

USK – A UIA Side Event
- 2023
-
Konstnärligt arbete (refereegranskat)abstract
- Scandinavia is famous for its long summer days, the liminal time bridging sunny brightness with dark nights. DUSK then is the threshold, known for creating an atmosphere of calm openness, curiosity and exploration. We, the inviting actors are a collaboration in between ‘Skovhaven i byen’ / ‘Forest garden in the city’ with its anchoring in Copenhagen, the mobile exploratory household ‘Holding Surplus House’ featuring a research-based Tiny House on Wheels (THoW), the international multispecies collective ‘I.N.S.E.C.T’, and the ‘Living Textiles Collective’. We invite curious participants – no matter whether you’re already part of the Design and Posthumanism network – to gather for a string of sensory co-creative events: a ForestGardenSalon with conversations about urban biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics, Sensory Tours in which we guide visitors through the ForestGarden in mindful discovery, including sensory observations, meditation and creative expressions, a screening of the I.N.S.E.C.T. Summercamp 2022 Documentary film, an exhibition of artefacts/works from the contributors that showcase multispecies relations, a workshop to make seasonal clothing for the Tiny House on Wheels itself and its inhabitants. One such making will be that of insulation panels that can host seeds and insects. This will be the time and place to explore an ecosystemic approach to life-sustaining co-living that strives to, as indicated through the UIA motto, “leave no one behind”. In this case it includes an invitation to multispecies wellbeing for flourishing biodiversity.

The Systemic Value of Water at Home: Social norms, behaviours, and design
- 2023
-
Ingår i: PROCEEDINGS OF RELATING SYSTEMS THINKING AND DESIGN, RSD12. - : Georgetown University Press.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Access to clean and healthy water in households is a global concern. Although the value of water is recognised, human actions demonstrate the opposite. Uncontrolled consumption, increasing drylands, deterioration, and pollution of water sources are some manifestations of the human water footprint. These actions evidence a paradox of value, a discrepancy between the intention and the action of water care. To this extent, and to decipher this paradox, this research project was conducted through design where the systemic value of water was studied in the context of Swedish households. The central question was to identify what are those values, mindsets, norms, behaviours, and lifestyles associated with the use of freshwater in households. In addressing this question, theories such as social norms, behaviour, and systems, as well as local, regional, and global projects, were reviewed, and the behaviour was mapped with the help of open surveys, as well as with stakeholders involving a technical expert from government, design teachers and industry-connected designers with the intention of revealing the systemic value of water. As a result, two areas of the system emerged that are useful for guiding design efforts to reduce the intention-action gap. The first area focuses on mapping norms and behaviours with respect to value preferences and expectations. These norms and behaviours were organised into levels of product and service design and systemic, organisational, and social design. The second area identified twenty behavioural components that were grouped into four factors related to the functioning of motivation, education, information, and social relations that increase the water value gap.
