SYMBIOPUNK: DESIGNING THE SYMBIOCENE

Delivered as a guest lecture at the Konfstack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stocholm, this talk offered a close examination of the future scenarios and world-building practices behind Luna’s work, the ecological, Symbiopunk methods that inform them, and the strategies executed within them. By exploring how speculative design can serve as a potent disruptor in times of anthropogenic polycrisis, the lecture asked: What are the stories of symbiotic futures, and how can we best tell them?


This lecture was a part of the Vinnova funded project "Degrees of a school lunch 2060", included in the Design Ecologies master's program at Konstfack.

Degrees of a school lunch explores the question of what school restaurants and food could look like in the year 2060, depending on if we keep within the boundaries of a 1,5° rise in global temperatures, or if we fail and land at 3°. The results will be displayed in an interactive traveling exhibition shown at Universeum, schools in Helsingborg, and the Stockholm Furniture Fair?
