microscopic Creatures, MACROscopic Impact: Exploring the futures of Healthcare
By Graciela Guadarrama Baena and Camila Guerrero
As we approach 2050, we will face important changes in our biological world, particularly critical when we consider microscopic life on Earth and its impact on our health.
In this participatory workshop, we will explore possible alternative futures for healthcare systems. We will examine our collective and individual hopes and fears as we consider the implications of our actions in the natural world and how they affect the quality of our lives and health.
Furthermore, we will ponder around:
- The role our gender plays in the care we receive (stigma, diagnosis, treatment...)
- How might we create sustainable, healthier futures for humans and the world?
- How might we redesign a system to work well for everyone when the smallest creatures pose the biggest threats?
