INTERWOVENNESS

Design Thinking Workshop, 2021
⭢ die Junge Akademie


Interwovenness is an investigative project led by ideas, material, methodologies, process and epistemologies to inquire on the language of weaving.

The metaphor of interweaving plays a central role in the humanities and social sciences, including science and digitalization research. At the same time, weaving operate in a field of tension between craft, art, and self-actualization. The project explores the potential of this metaphor not only intellectually-conceptually, but also experimentally: How does our thinking about autonomy and heteronomy, the inclusion and presuppositionality of things in infrastructures change through metaphors of interweaving and interwovenness? In a first closed workshop on February 12th, this field of tension will be examined by looking at different weaving and braiding techniques with designer crafts practitioner Evey Kwong.

After the first workshop, there is a further three-day workshop planned, open to all Junge Akademie members and alumni.
