Erik Sandelin's 50% seminar – tracing a “trajectory of not” in post-anthropocentric design

**Ahuman Design**

Thursday 10 December, 9–12 am, join: https://konstfack-se.zoom.us/j/7324623260

In the future we may pride ourselves more on what we do *not* do, rather than on what we do. In his PhD project Erik Sandelin traces a “trajectory of not”, in post-anthropocentric design. Through experiential interventions (animal addiction hypnotherapy, eating the sun, becoming allergic to meat) in everyday exploitative human-animal relations, Erik explores carefully crafted not-doings and un-doings as vital design (in)actions.

Invited discussant is Johan Redström, Professor of design at Umeå Institute of Design.

Also present are supervisors Martín Avila, Professor of Design at Konstfack; Cecilia Åsberg, Professor of Gender, Nature, Culture at Linköping University; and Helena Pedersen, Associate Professor of Education at University of Gothenburg with a focus on critical animal studies.
