Feral Grounds podcast: Designing Economic Cultures

What happens when a designer shifts her focus from creating objects and graphics to designing economic cultures? By choosing not to engage in representational design activities, produce prestigious exhibitions, or build her career in prominent academic positions, Bianca’s daily commitment to social change in the Vallagarina valley attracts (young) people to stay.
 
Discover how her 40-year project vision transforms disturbed Alpine valleys into vibrant rural settings through fizzy drinks production, a mobile pizza oven, situated pedagogies, and groundbreaking research into land commons. In the face of escalating climate change, biodiversity decline, and social isolation, she leverages the community economy theories of feminist geographers J.K. Gibson-Graham to reshape economic practices and improve the livelihoods of all living beings.

 
This spring, as part of the School of Feral Grounds, Bianca had a conversation with Danica Sretenović and Gaja Mežnarić Osole from Trajna/Krater. This conversation is now available as a podcast.
