beuys body collective

Beuys’s urgency of conservation of natural life and regeneration of man-nature equilibrium along with seeking a more equal and free society in regards to his social sculpture approach has still resonances in our anthropocentric art and design world. His shamanic practice of his non-anthropocentric philosophy created an integration of human and non-human elements as well as living and non-living things to the artwork. This approach was instrumental for the collective healing process to save humans and the planet. 

In our collective and inter-disciplinary project we want to appropriate  Beuys’s shamanic approach in to an eco-feminist and inclusive design perspective which will be implemented through circular and bio-design. Starting from the body , roots and the waste – both as extract of nature and as design flow -as raw materials the co-creative process will be carried out by a collective of fashion designers, textile designers , artists and industrial designers.
