Workshop

Synthenesis

Fara Peluso (IT/DE)

Synthenesis workshop is a participatory extension of Fara Peluso’s ongoing research on spirulina microalgae, imagining a near-future scenario where individuals can cultivate spirulina as their own food source. The workshop focuses on building a DIY aquaculture bioreactor and synthesizing algae pills. Participants will explore ways to promote collective practices of care and decision-making connected to well-being and empowerment, and consider how to integrate these practices into daily life.
