SUMMARY:WHAT'S UP/Designing transitional
DESCRIPTION:Donna Maione will in this seminar present her research, which draws on her work based on her dissertation, Recrafting Futures: Post-material Transformations Toward Clothing Longevity. Through the approach of transition design and design activism, Donna challenges the exponential economic growth on a finite planet and the production of waste across every stage in the textile supply chain. In order to disrupt the current system of taking, making, and wasting, Donna navigates the complexities of social norms and attitudes, highlighting the vitality of recrafting and repair as a starting point for design to redesign, shift the paradigm, and create space for smaller, local nested ecologies of interventions. By engaging with the textiles we already own, Donna explores new ways of imagining plural futures for clothing and textile systems through practices of craft and remaking and asks, "How can we design for redesigning while working in transitional spaces"?
