Aysun Aytaç speaks at By Design and By Disaster Conference

Aysun Aytaç, together with Dr. Serkan Bayraktaroglu from Istanbul University, will deliver a 7-minute talk at the Power in Transformation – By Design and By Disaster Conference in July 2024, hosted at BASIS in South Tyrol, Italy.

The annual conference, organized by the Master in Eco-Social Design at the Faculty of Design and Art of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, has been focusing on social-ecological transformations and what design and art can contribute, along with partners and allies since 2013.

Aysun and Serkan’s talk, titled “What Would it Take to Take Care? Speculating our Relationships with Products for Future Repair Scenarios,” will explore how repair rights and autonomy unveil power dynamics in society and ecosystems. They will use speculative sketches as props to engage the audience in speculating, re-imagining, and sketching out ideas about future repair scenarios for the things that shape our everyday lives.
