DEAR MEN OF MIDDELFART
In collaboration with Ashna Patel, 2019
Rooted in co-creation and facilitation, this project explored how our shifting roles as designers could spark behavioural change in the light of the precarity of climate change, global inequalities and scarcity of resources.
The project was in collaboration with Brobygning Middelfart who conceptualise possibilities in which residents might utilise and interact in their local town in a more community-oriented and environmentally-friendly manner. Through co-design workshops, we engaged with male residents to understand how designers might facilitate and aid men to value and keep a hold of their clothing for longer by together imagining a possible future.
