[LiU design] Seminar reminder; Sewing Cafe; Transformation, and a PhD defense

[Stefan Holmlid]

Dear all,

Just a quick reminder about three seminars this week. For PhD students in Design, talk to your supervisor how these may be eligible to include in your Design research seminar course. If you know of anyone that would be interested, don’t hesitate to tell them!

8 March 13-15
Sewing Café  - participatory design platform for alternative value creation and positive disruptions?
Anja-Lisa Hirscher, Aalto ARTS & Ulm University
This presentation will provide insight to a practice-led design research project – a sewing café, facilitated in a small South German town. With this sewing café, the researcher is exploring the interrelations of empowering citizens through shared learning experiences embedded in participatory design and making workshops, but simultaneously nourishing community cohesion across generations and nationalities. By establishing and facilitating a bi-weekly sewing café the project investigates how participatory design and making processes can enable social interactions and empower participants in various ways, generating diverse types of value. The project is grounded in addressing contemporary issues on sustainable production and consumption within the textile industry, but simultaneously enabling means for integration and appreciation of everyone’s skills and knowledge. First results of the qualitative research will build the basis for a critical discussion and reflection with the audience.
