Regenerative, Social and Situated: Bio Aspects of Critical Making and Open Hardware
Critical Making is an academic practice that combines critical thinking and making. But it also has a lot of relevance outside of education and research: worldwide, we encounter how makers use their critical thinking skills to make things that are regenerative, social and situated.
Based on examples from Indonesia, Singapore, and Japan, we will discuss why we are all critical makers. We will also develop ideas together on how to use our critical-material practice to better understand complex issues and by using participatory methods, make things that make sense for the environment and for society.
