Design and Posthumanism Network

This network engages critical posthumanism via design practices, education, and research. We are designers, artists, educators, and scholars who critically examine biases in all things that make up design, its entanglements with anthropocentric worldviews and complicity in reproducing structures of power. At the same time we nourish our curiosity and belief regarding the need for designers to pay better attention to more-than-human earthlings like animals, plants, and everything in-between and beyond. Together we want to explore how design can grow and thrive in contact with posthumanism – and how designerly and artistic approaches in turn can inform critical posthumanism and related discourses. The network started in Sweden in 2018 but since then has grown into an international and decentralized network.
