Abstract/Description

Abstract

The craft practice of fermentation prioritizes embodied know-how in the maker, and collaboration between the practitioner, fermenting microbes, and other beings and elements implicated in the process. This project draws from embodied design research methodologies to develop a material fermentation practice into a process-led research praxis, wherein theories of embodiment and the relational bodily self can be explored. This project then proposes how this embodied, multispecies praxis may cultivate a deeply relational connection between humans and the ecosystems they are embedded within, in order to conceive of and exercise more caring relations.
