In September 2023, I presented my paper titled "POST-ANTHROPOCENTRIC DISCOURSES IN DESIGN EDUCATION: A WOOL-CENTRIC WORKSHOP" in EPDE 2023 (25th International Conference on Engineering and Product Design Education). The paper was an attempt to discuss how to include current discourses of post-Anthropocentrism in design education. As an example, I reflected on an exercise from the summer course I conducted in Istanbul, named "Making Felt Castles". The workshop was conducted to trigger speculative interactions with wool material, extending to how post-Anthropocentric approaches could be introduced in design education.

Recently I was lucky to conduct my practice-based work in Klæbu, Norway. Here are some reflections from my photo diary through the process
