Re-membering, Relationality & Technology — Rachel Chak
How might nature and indigenous values of care inform the ways we relate to digital tools and spaces that shape our everyday life? How can we build and tend to our ecosystems on the web to reflect our values and what’s most important to our well-being?
In this talk, Rachel will share provocations in cultivating a softer relationship with technology, as well as her research in (re)discovering Filipino Circularity and the possibilities of design’s roles in uplifting culture and heritage.
