62 Hurra Hurra x Laura Drouet

If we want to survive on the planet that we've made nearly
impossible to live on, we will need partnerships with others that
are not humans. In this episode, Laura Drouet (@laura_drouet),
co-founder of d-o-t-s (@we_are_dots), talks about their work and
the process of creating the manifesto of phyto-centered design,
which involves understanding and collaborating with plant life.
Their current exhibition "Plant Fever" and the upcoming summer
school in Schloss Pillnitz explore the relationship between design
and the natural world. The summer school covers topics such as the
impact of avocados on Mexico, weaving with nettle, and making music
for plants to grow. The studio aims to raise awareness against
monocultures and a capitalist system while promoting a rural and
holistic approach to design.
